A very cool fest. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.
ReplyDeleteHi, Julie,

A librarian? I always wanted to be one ... as well as being a writer and a palaeontologist ...
ReplyDeleteVery cool blogfest! Hope you get lots of new followers. :)
ReplyDeleteA great idea for a blog hop. One I thought I'd signed up for. I'll have to check when I get to my desk...

So nice to get to know more about you. :)
ReplyDeleteHi! Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteNeat idea for a blogfest. Too bad I have so many other things going on this week, or I'd jump on in with y'all.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you're one of those neat kinda librarians who knows the people who come into the library well enough to recommend the "perfect" books to them.
Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteI suppose you might think I'm going to make some satirical comment about yet another blogfest! :)
As you are a librarian, I shall type this comment very quietly.
I think I have the pleasure of connecting with you on most of those links. Even 'Farcebook' :)
Gary
I didn't know you were a librarian. It was great reading more about you in this fest.
ReplyDeletePolar Night has been on my TBR list for so long! I really hope I get time to read it soon. :-)
ReplyDeleteAlready following you pretty much everywhere.
I'm not on Twitter or LinkedIn, but I do enjoy following you on other sites. Looking forward to next week!
ReplyDeleteJulie
December 5th will be here before you know it!
ReplyDelete@Christine, thanks. :)
ReplyDelete@Juliana, hello! So nice to meet you as well.
@Susan, I would love to be that, but I work at a college so it's different. But I'd be happy recommending books. :)
@Gary, thanks for being quiet LOL.
@Medeia, thanks!
@Misha, I hope you enjoy it, thanks for putting it on your list!
@Julie, I think we've got each other covered everywhere. Thanks!
@Cathrina, I know, which is kind of scary and exciting at the same time LOL.
Now that I caught up with you on Pinterest, I think I'm following everywhere else. I did follow all of the Untethered Realms links though--big fan of you all! :)
ReplyDelete*wave* Hi! I've seen you around (every where it seems) but for some reason never quite got to connect. Finally! And I've got Polar Night on my TBR list. Looks like I'll be adding one more soon :)
ReplyDelete@Tonja, oh, thanks for putting Polar Night on your list, I really appreciate it. So glad we got connected! :)
ReplyDeleteStopping by through the blog hop, just figured I'd add myself to your list of stalkers, lol!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to knowing you as an author!
@Guinevere, thank you! So nice to meet you and I look forward to following you as well. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! You write so quickly. Congrats on your two books.
ReplyDeleteA bit late, but just dropping by to say hello and good to meet you. ^_^
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Nice meeting you too. Yes, you should definitely go back to writing nonfiction articles. It's so much fun!
Hey there! Popping over from follow fest to say new follower here :) It's nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed signing up for your cover reveal! I would have loved to be involved. It gets hard to do blog visits like I'd like to. I'm sure your reveal will be a success.
ReplyDeleteI've found one or two other places to follow you. :) Writer’s Mark
Hi, Julie. Made friend requests on FB & GR. I think I've seen you on LinkedIn. I'll have to check. Glad to meet you here.
ReplyDelete@Jennifer, thank you!
ReplyDelete@Mason, thanks so much for coming by, it's great to meet you as well.
@Romelle, my pleasure and thanks for coming by here!
@Randi, thanks, great to meet you!
@Nancy, oh, I know, I have had a terrible time keeping up lately. I appreciate it, thanks so much.
@Judith, so glad to meet you as well, thanks!
Dudette! How did I not realise you were a librarian as well? :P I'm a systems librarian, though my title is now "Applications Administrator". Still, I work in a library and have a librarian qualification, so I think I'm a librarian. :P
ReplyDeleteFinally stopping by for the FF. :)
@Trisha, oh, I didn't know you were a librarian too! Cool! :D
