Hello ladies and gents!
Welcome to my blog … and to my final post in Five Fall Favorites 2017!
In this post, I’ll be announcing the winners … and some other fun things. We still have lots of free books and such wandering around, so be sure to look for them!
On that note … The Lady of the Vineyard is free today on Amazon while The Dressmaker’s Secret is on sale for just $0.99! Be sure to check them both out! 🙂

To find out what all is going on, check out today’s post by Rebekah A. Morris. All kinds of fun things are happening. There will even be a lot of free/discount books.

And now, the last FFF category …

Animal Books!

This one was fun for me! If you don’t know already, I love animals (especially read about them), so this was both hard and easy for me. 🙂

Old Yeller by Fred Gibson

This is such an awesome book! The ending, though … *sobs* I started with the movie (*hugs*) and then moved to the book after watching is six zillion times when I was a kid. And wow … I just love the characters and the dog and … *has no words*

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell

My siblings regularly make fun of this book (“Book About a Whiny Horse,” I believe they call it), but I just adore it. Again, I started with the movie (lots different from the book; they’re both awesome in their own ways) and eventually read the book. Is it sad that this book should affect me so much? It’s just a horse, but … but …. *sobs*

Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry

Besides being based on a true story (which made the adventure that much better), this is just a great story. I love horses (uh … yeah), so this was just awesome. Two kids capture and tame a wild pony? WHY IS IT SO AMAZING!?!

Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat

This is a fun story about a little boy who gets a bunch of crazy pets … including two owls. I never really liked owls (in fact, I really hate them), but they were just so fun and full of personality in this book that it was impossible not to admire them. And all those crazy adventures … so funny! 😀

All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot

Nothing has ever been as charming, amusing, and almost magical as this series. The setting, the era, the writing style, the stories … just lovely. I’d recommend it to any lover of animals, England, or the country.

And Some Personal Updates

What? I need my blog back to myself, people. 😉
So … I’m not going to post for about a week after the giveaway. I have a lot of projects going on, so I’m busy. (So much so that I tied my mother to a chair and made her edit Flowers for me.) (Haha, what? Me, a kidnapped??? Noooo … )
So posting will probably begin again 21st. And then in November I won’t be posting much (#NaNoWriMo). But we’ll see how it all plays out; I may be back the Wednesday before the 21st.
I do have a few quick updates, though.

• I probably won’t be doing dares this month or the month. I’ll just … update you on all that happened this Autumn in December. *shrugs*
• I’m outlining! Outlining is fun. But tough. I need to figure out a lot of details. I might post about that later in the month.
• I bought a custom URL. I am not the proud owner of kellynrothauthor.com! (BTW, what do you think of my website?)
• I still have a lot of writing to do … but I think I can do it! Adae and Flowers both need to be finished this month, and I have some additional projects, but I’m going to try.
• I updated my NaNoWriMo account! Which means I can’t go back now.

And … I think that’s it? See you when I see you! 😀

Thanks for partying with me!

Do you enjoy books about animals? Or did you used to, at least? What’s your favorite animal? Congratulate the winners, all y’all! And try not to be too green with jealousy. Although I know I am.
