The Book Roast team is open for business!
Grab a brew.
Cruise around.
Have some fun!
Anyone who announces the opening of Book Roast on his/her blog will be eligible for fun prizes --gifts from Dubai, gift certificates from Amazon, a nicely salted copy of "Lottery," miscellaneous items from the back of our kitchen cabinets (we spare no expense!).
Leave a comment to this post to let us know you'll be posting an announcement. Now until midnight Saturday, Eastern U.S. time. Five random winners will be chosen on Sunday.

Thanks LeatherD.!
And also adding Shtephen's name to the fray....
I'm putting a link in my blog and I'll post an announcement as well. Great idea! Thank you!
I'll try to add a link in my blog too, Chris, though I'll have you know that you're taxing my technical skill to the max.
This is a great idea, and you crack me up. Just as I clicked on your blog the sun came out (honest -- it happened!) and Disneyesque birds even began twittering in the treetops.
Linked ya!

~am excited!!~
Three of my favorite authors! Awesome!
Stacking up the charcoal...
Pouring on the lighter fluid...
Whistling a little tune...
Can't wait to get going!!
Cool. I still have one more post in my Cross Plains journey series to post and then I'll put up information on my blog about Book roast. Great idea. I've linked it to my google reader so I can keep up with every post.
Thank you for doing so much to promote writers' work in a fun way.
Duh, did someone say prizes? I've linked to you and also summarized some of my comments from a recent NB diablog which explain why I think Book Roast is such an exciting thing.
Jason's burnt the first set of burgers. That's one of the dangers of hauling a grill over to the office.
I'm putting the announcement on my blog too. Great idea!
Thanks for entering my name, but I never win. Ever.
Now you're thinking: I'll cheat and intentionally draw Steve's name so he can finally win something.
But---if my name is drawn, I'll know you cheated. Therefore, even if you draw my name by chance, you have to pretend you didn't.
Once again I lose. Sigh.
you've been linked. fantastic idea.
Announced on my meager blog and linked in my sidebar under Don't Miss!
I linked you and made an announcement on my blog...it's the least I can do as a Canadian to support my American colleagues...
Wow ..would like to join as an Author from Sultanate of Oman ..My book is on Amazon..Would love to gift copies from my book how I go about it
Orion is Canadian?!
I thought she was Norwegian. Not that it means all that much....
;-)
thanks everybody for stopping by and helping to announce this!!! I do promise the gifts will be nice. And now that Stephen's name has already been selected, there are four more spots left.
I added you to my Win a Book listings, so there's no need to enter me for a prize. I'm eager to see what you guys serve up!
Blogged about you!!! :)
This is going to be great!! :)

I've linked this site to mine in a post I have just written.
Dear Roast Master, this a hot idea! Do you have a pic I could use to put a permanent link on the side of my blog? :-)
Oh, dear. Now I have to figure out how to do links.
This looks like a lot of fun.
All right, I posted about this and also added it to my friends list in the sidebar.
Good idea and it looks like much fun is to be had by all.
okay, I'm in. Anything to push Bernita into the spotlight.
Wow! 42 people and counting!
But who is collecting the cover charge? BT?
I thought I saw him passed out by the mustard.
;-)
We need Miss Savanahh to keep everyone in line.....
Hi Vesper:
Scroll way down and look at the bottom of the left sidebar. We have an image you're welcome and encouraged to swipe. Most blog hosts let you then add a link on the image itself.
Thanks to all of you for linking!!!
Very interesting. I've blogged about ya. Good luck with the new site.
If anyone would like a graphic link, you can use this code: < a href="http://bookroast.blogspot.com">< img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc98/jevanswriter/bookroast_badge3.jpg" border="0" alt="Visit Book Roast!" >< /a >
Just remove the spaces by the "<" and ">" marks!
I've posted an announcement and link on my blog. Thanks for a fun site!
Okie Dokie artichokie... I put up a post and linked you in my blogroll... though judging by the comment trail, most of my regular readers have already been here :-)
Can't wait until the games begin.
Announced and linked!
Such a great idea...
:)
Thanks for all the linky love!
"Sorry, we cannot accept the following:
*Self-pubbed books
*Pornography, unless it's a Johnny Depp biography
*How-to manuals on blowing up bunnies"
Sigh. I assume this means my self-pubbed, partially pornographic novel of my relationship with my blow up Johnny Depp is out of the running? No bunnies were harmed.
Cool site. I'll give ya a shout-out on the blogie tom!
Well, if the bunnies survived...
Okay, we're now officially linked!
