Merry Catmas

Happy Monday! As my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, we have a lot going on today, but first, a word from today's sponsor -- Stress.

The chicklet has discovered she's become allergic to cats. This is sad news because she and I both worship cats. It's sadder news because we have 2 cats and she has 2 kittens.

Or rather, she now has no kittens, and we have a feline war of epic proportions going on.

The Canine Death Squad are handling the new additions just fine. They LOVE cats and want to snuggle with the new ones. The Killer Kitties, however, have not yet decided if they've got two new enforcers to add to the mix, or if they have a new contract to search and destroy on their paws.

All in all, not exactly what I was expecting to find under the mistletoe, but I'll channel Gloria Gaynor and survive.

Okay, Stress and its related Whine Commercial are off! What's now on? Well, lots and lots!

First off, we have more great reviews of "Alien Tango" large and in charge! Check out A Buckeye Girl Reads, then jump to What If Books. What If Books will also have a new interview with moi going live on Wednesday, so stay tuned.

After that, hit Larissa's Bookish Life to see what her top 5 best book series were this year! Then check out what Aria's Dark Musings would like to get in her stocking and under her tree. There's a contest connected to it, so don't miss out!

Speaking of contests, head over to The Galaxy Express where the massive SFR Holiday Blitz has begun! You can win tons of great books from a host of great blogs! In fact, you can win a copy of "Love and Rockets" from Spacefreighters Lounge, and a copy of "Touched by an Alien" from Lisa Paitz Spindler. There are scads of books up for grabs, so hit all the blogs for your chances to win!

Speaking of winning, the Gods of Random have chosen the winners of the Combo-Con contest! They'll be listed on the Blog later today. So if you entered, be sure to check back regularly.

I'm sure there's more, but I hear a cat fight starting in one room and a crash in another, so I'll leave you with the knowledge that your lives are currently less frenzied and hectic than mine. Bask in the warm glow of someone else's bedlam, my Alien Collective...bask in the warm glow.

Love,
Gini

Here's the hand drawn card I got from the I Smell Sheep gang. Check out whose book hasn't fallen out of the sleigh. ;-D
