So I was thinking this week . Does that make everyone cringe?

Today when I wrote this up. it is the 14th, so just a reminder to you all that we are now 10 days from my birthday and tomorrow will be 3 months away from Christmas. Now I don't want all of you all to fret and worry over having to get me pressies for both celebrations in the next 3 months! I know you all were planning on spending at least $50 Canadian ($12.50 US) on each present, so why don't you combine the two and each of you can give me a $100 present for Christmas .

As I sometimes say in the my closing on requests... Thanking you in advance.

Well with the weight of not having to buy me something in 10 days hanging over your conscious, shall we see what happened in the GA News Blog this week?

Monday as I said in that blog, WOW. Our review team exceeded all of our expectations with a great Signature Author Special Review. Make sure you thank your friendly neighbourhood Review Team Member

Jump on over to Tuesday and Renee brought an announcement for poets and authors to help with the 2nd round of Anthology Voting:

Then is was a giant stride into Thursday, where Myr shared with us a new list of the September Anthology Flashbacks:

Finally on Friday, Wayne sashayed into the blog and gave us another two great prompts:
