Summer's Hidden Treasures Entry Update
Yep, I've crawled out of the woods near the PA-WVA border. I braved severe thunderstorms all by myself in a Boy Scout-issued tent that's not much more than two metal cots, some moldy mattresses, a wooden-planked floor, and an oil cloth over it all.
And I'll tell you die-hards about it later, so be sure to stop back.
If you haven't read all three entries about the Deadly Metal Hatchet, be sure to do so and leave comments. You guys didn't leave much for the Tour Manager to do, you know!
Right now, I want to highlight the entries to the Summer's Hidden Treasure contest. Be sure to check out these books and, where you can, the review authors -- once you've read and reviewed your own Hidden Treasure, of course!
Lauren reviewed Whiskey Sour by JA Konrath.
Cathepsut reviewed Passion by Jude Watson.
Wendy (Wss4) reviewed Resurrection Dreams by Richard Laymon.
Henry Martin (himself a HT featured author!) reviewed The Smile at the Foot of the Ladder, by Henry Miller.
Missy reviewed The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever by Julia Quinn.
Pesh (via Joely Sue Burkhart) reviewed Survive my Fire, by Joely Sue Burkhart.
