RWA Nationals didn't happen for me. This year it was so close to me, and I wanted to go so much, but... Oh, well. Luckily for me, there are some awesome notes from attenddees (sp?). For example, Mary has great posts - I especially liked the one on the agent panel. Romancing the Blog also has entires about the Nationals.

Actually, there's plenty of info online about the conference, but let's go back to blog hopping. Kelly Parra provides a linkie for a good advice - and post - from Diana Peterfeund. Cole gives away 2 autographed books by Caridad Pineiro and has a heart-breaking - and heartwarming - entry about a storm. Rene in Thirsday Thirteen blogs about 13 places where she likes to shop. What can I say? Any girl who likes Barnes & Noble is my kind of girl! Nell has a post about a haunted castle. Marty has several movie reviews and announcements about chats. Lis talks about her 13 fave Soap Opera Couples and asks a question abour RWA CD's. Michelle has lots of pics from RWA (fabulous!) and a post about her daughter (hugs to your girl, hopefully, she'll feel better soon).

What about you? Did you make it Nationals? What did I miss? And, remembering Rene's 13, what is YOUR favorite place to shop?

I didn't make it to RWA, but next year is close to home in SF--yay! Yep, Borders is my fave place to shop, and then Target. haha!

Didn't go to nationals--maybe next year. Favorite place to shop--hmm--I'd have to say Barnes & Noble because they carry my book.:)

I didn't make it this year, either...but also am enjoying picking up the bits from blogs and forums. My favorite place to shop is Amazon (online) and Target (in person). I'm not sure what it is about Target, but I could spend hours in there...

Hi Olga! Thanks for the mention!!!! It always catches me off guard when I read my name on someone's blog...I always stop and think... does she really mean me? LOL. And I agree, there are tons of great posts out there right now, I'm blogging all about now, sometimes its just fun! Have a good one!

Cole

Kelly, you're in SF? As for Borders, similar tastes, right?

Jerri, hugs about the Nationals. I hope you'll make it next year. About the Barnes & Noble - yep, one's got to love the store that carries her/his book!

Marty, thanks for visiting! Looks like Target is everybody's fave shop. Would you believe I've never been there?

Cole, you're more than welcome! And I liked your post a lot. Great message. Have a good one, too!

I'm anxiously waiting for the RWA cds to arrive :) Hmm, fave place to shop. Loved Old Navy this summer. Got tons of tank tops and a few cute pairs of shorts for cheap this year :)

Lis, I hope you'll get your CD's soon. I know, waiting can be frustrating. And yay on shopping!

I made it to National and it was great! My favorite place to shop is Borders, with Target running a close second.

Bailey, glad to "see" you again! It's so awesome you made it to Nationals. It was your first time, right?

I didn't make it either :( So I've been living vicariously since everyone got back and started posting ;)

April, hugs! Yes, I've been living vicariously, too. Maybe some day some year?

Hi, Olga! I didn't make it Nationals either. Next year I'm going for sure. Favourite place to shop - Chapters and then Best Buy.

Cindy! Glad to see you here again. Hugs on the Nationals. I think I'll go there some day - when they are again in Dallas...
