After that, we visit hubby's dad and then had Christmas dinner at one of his aunt's houses. It was delicious! Then we returned home and spent the rest of the day together as a family. It was a wonderful day.
Hubby got me a few books - Inheritance,
The Vampire in Lore and Legend, and Werewolves: A Field Guide to Shapeshifters, Lycanthropes, and Man-Beasts.
They all look awesome so I can't wait to start reading them! He also got me a few DVDs and some clothes (sports apparel - love the Philadelphia Eagles T-shirts he got me!) But the nicest present was a painted wooden figurine of a kneeling Santa holding baby Jesus in front of a manger scene. Just beautiful.I hope your Christmases were all just as nice!
For those of you who have been following my blog for awhile will remember that I gave away Critiques for Christmas. Although Christmas has already passed, I still want to do this again this year.
You have the choice of a:
Query critique
Synopsis critique
First page critique
All I ask is that you follow my blog. It would be great if you could spread the word, but that's not necessary.
Email me at Nicole.Zoltack@gmail.com with your query, synopsis, or first page.
Critiques will be done in a first come, first served basis. If I get an overwhelming respond, I might have to put a cap on how many critiques I can handle. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Now it's time for me to get ready for Olive Garden. Hubby and I (and the boys) are going out in honor of us starting dating 9 years ago today. Boy does time fly!
Then this is what I will highlight on Monday - cool, Nicole!

ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely Christmas. My hubby bought me loads of books too and I'm finding it difficult to put them down and do some blogging. What a great Christmas offer. Do you critique any genre?
ReplyDeleteAh, the problem of having too many good books to read. Such a hardship, right, Claire? I will critique any genre.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! It was nine years from the day I met my husband on the 28th. :) We'll have been married eight years in Feb.
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome you are offering to critique. Thanks for the generous offer, I will take you up on it. :)
