I'm still recovering from the A-Z Challenge. I managed to post every day, but got behind a few too many times commenting. The biggest highlight of the challenge was being featured as one of Alex J Cavanaugh's blogger buddies for his letter "P" on the Princess Bride. Thank you again, Alex, for your kind words.
I'll be absent most of May as I get ready to move. Until then, here are a handful of contests and blog hops I had to mention. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your feature, Buttercup!
ReplyDeleteMoving sucks up a lot of time, so understand the absence.
Thanks for mentioning our fests. SC Write had a ton of submissions in the first hour of the query contest.
Thanks for the roundup! Signed up for WIPIT Good. Excited/nervous about that one!
ReplyDeleteGreat round-up as always, Kimberly. I entered Query Kombat *nervous* :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the roundup of all the blog hops :)
ReplyDeleteThat query combat sounds interesting. And WIPIT. Things to think about.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Do you have the summer off? How many weeks left of school? We have 7 more days after today. Yikes. :)
Contest is still open-- thanks for mentioning it. And thank you for all the other great announcements too.

Although I'll miss you, take time getting settled in your new home. It's a huge thing. And stressful. But enjoy each minute of memories.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update on blogfests coming up! And I'm slowly catching up on blog comments from A-Z. It just took a while. *sighs*
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your move.
ReplyDeleteHugs and chocolate,
Shelly
Oh wow - A to Z challenge and an imminent move! You're making me tired just thinking about it. Hang in there, my friend! But good job doing A-Z and I hope the move is smooth. Great roundup, as usual. <3
ReplyDeleteThanks K!
ReplyDeleteI just entered QueryKombat.
You're the best.
HI, Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the the links... I hope you move is as stress free as possible. But, how exciting to move into a HOUSE after so many years of condo living. I can't wait until that happy day. Lol.
Man. I'm so out of the loop these days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links and see you when you come back. Have a safe move.
