Welcome to the round up of posts you might have missed this week on Smorgasbord.
I hope everyone is well despite the rising cases of Covid…our cases are on the increase here in Ireland too and not sure that is going to impact the lifting of restrictions in coming weeks. Not that we will be sunning ourselves on the beach for the next ten days.. but the grass is staying lovely and green this ‘summer’!
But today I would like to focus on the positive as one of our long term supporter of the blog and resident in the Cafe and Bookstore, Judith Barrow has been shortlisted for The Rhys Davies Fiction Award for The Memory.. a book that I can highly recommend – my review
This prestigious award is part of Wales Book of the Year People’s Choice Award 2021 and is dependent on public votes. It is very easy.. all you have to do is click on The Memory and your vote is counted.
Here is a screenshot of the listing of Judith’s book… and below is the link to the page where you will find the voting panel for the books… I hope you will head over to support this amazing author and friend to so many. Just wonderful to see Judith receive the recognition she deserves..
Here is the link for the rest of the article…please take just a minute of your time to head over to cast your vote – thanks Sally: Wales Book of The Year 2021 – Article and Voting panel
And I know many of you will be celebrating July 4th this weekend and I hope you have an amazing time and are able to meet up with friends and family

As always, something for everyone. Your blog couldn’t be more aptly named. I especially enjoyed reading Public Relations for Authors, the health information, and the opportunity to meet some new authors.

Reblogged this on Judith Barrow and commented:
With many thanks to Sally for all her support and generosity over the years – and now, especially for her support for my book, The Memory, being shortlisted for The Rhys Davies Fiction Award. And for her mention of Wales Book of the Year People’s Choice Award 2021, that’s dependent on public votes.

Sal, thanks for keeping me abreast this dreaded week as I struggled to have a minute to myself or just nothing left in me. And thanks for another fabulous week where I can pop by and semi catch up in blogland. And I’m soooo happy for Judith! Congrats Judith! I loved that book, and just got back to regular reading and nearing the end of Heartstone. Of course I love it. ❤

I am so grateful for your kind words and support, even now, at a time like this, you send loving words. Thank you. So, I send back strength and big hugs across the water. xx

Sal, I’m at the mercy of one friend to come by and hang heavy things so I can get the rest of the place sorted that mirrors are blocking. Moving is horrendous on a good day, but mix in grief and frustration, it can become lethal. I feel worse here than I did in my other home. 😦 xox

I am sure Debby and I know you want things sorted as soon as possible.. I am sure your friend will be there soon.. in the meantime take care of you.. and get some sunshine if you can. It will get done..♥♥
