This has really whetted my interest for the book- thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDear Shelly, . . . glad your interest has been whetted! Peace.
DeleteI loved the book--I already have a copt to hold & a Kindle copy!!
ReplyDeleteDear Fran, . . . like you, I had the opportunity to read the book ahead of time. One of these days I'm going to break down and buy a Kindle. Then I, too, will order "The Sword of Senack" as an e-book! Peace.
DeleteThis is so fun! You are the best, Dee. ;) thanks again. I'll feature this on my Monday posting.
ReplyDeleteDear Elisa, . . . you are welcomed! Peace.
DeleteThanks for sharing, very interesting and a pleasure to read.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Dear Yvonne, . . . thanks for stopping by in the midst of dealing with those floaters!
DeletePeace.
That was fun. I only got six correct, but that surprised me. Some of those neurons or whatever they are must be still firing up. You have read Harry Potter, I see.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to promote this book and I hope you had us much fun as your readers with this test. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Dee.
Dear Penny, . . . I'd say those neurons had fired! And yes, I've been a Harry Potter fan since the first book. I have all the books, the movies, and the unabridged books on tape. I've listened, read, and watched all of them at least five times.
DeleteIf you like fantasy, I think you'll like the underwater cycle that Elisa is writing. She's extremely creative and imaginative.
I hope your weekend is being a good one also. Peace.
As if my interest wasn't already piqued, it now definitely is! What a great addition to the previous post!
ReplyDeleteDear Sandi, . . . glad I've piqued your interest. Peace.
DeleteEpic, too bad this world isn't for real, sounds like a magical exciting place!
ReplyDeleteDear Cade, . . . yes, an epic underwater thriller. A truly magical place. Thanks for stopping by. Peace.
DeleteYou are so clever in the way you have share your enthusiasm for the book. I don't normally enjoy Fantasy--I'm the only person in the world who hasn't read even one Harry Potter book...LOL! But you've got me wondering if this isn't the time to branch out in a new direction. THe illustrations you selected to accompany your questions are just beautiful! Debra
ReplyDeleteDear Debra, Please see my response to Penny's comment. It will show just how much of a Harry Potter fan I am. And now I'm a fan of the Mer-son cycle, of which "The Sword of Senack" is the first volume. If you want to try fantasy, it's a good place to start.
DeleteGlad you liked the illustrations. I'm so grateful to be able to go to Wikipedia and find ones for the blog.
Peace.
I got them all right! Um is it cheating if I already read the book and know the author? :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post Dee. I've been missing you my friend.
Dear Melynda, . . . Ho! Ho! 100% no less. I'll be in touch next week. Peace.
DeleteWhat a wonderful job you have done describing the wonders in this book. I would definitely not have understood how special it is, why it was written, and why I must read it, if it weren't for your write up.
ReplyDeleteDear Inger, . . . I so want Elisa's books to do well because she writes with such imagination. She's one of the most creative people I've ever known. I'm glad you are thinking about reading it. But give yourself time to recoup from these past weeks of ailment before settling down to read. Peace.
DeleteThis book sounds so exciting. I wish my Kindle would hurry up and come...Ahh Patience..I admire people who have such vast imaginations. I lived in a story world until I was fourty nine years and came out of a thirty plus years of trauma. It was the one thing, besides my faith that kept me sane.. And at times I wonder if I am sane?? Perhaps we are all a little mad, I laugh at myself when I fall over with my brummy knee, so must be..LOL
ReplyDeleteDear Crystal, Yes, I think we all have our moments of utter insanity! Peace.
DeleteI have not been feeling well for the past few weeks and missed reading posts that I enjoy. It may take me time but I will try to catch up.
ReplyDeleteI will also be looking forward to your Tuesday's post.
Dear Arleen, I'm sorry to hear that you've not been well. Don't worry about catching up. That takes so much time when you read quite a number of blogs. For my blog, I suggest that you just start with the present and move forward! I"m always glad to read a comment from you. And I appreciate your stopping by. Peace.
DeleteYou make the book almost impossible to resist, Dee.
ReplyDeleteAnd you come up with the neatest ideas for your post. Sorry I skipped the quiz today.
I must buy that book today. It sounds intriguing.
