Is August really drawing to a close? It seems like just yesterday the summer heat was rolling in, but the kiddos are back to school, moms and dads are back to writing and fall television will soon be back on the air. Before we know it, Halloween will be here.
Sunday snips and clips is my weekly round up of news and views that may not have fit in anywhere else. Today, we’ve got a few different things going on: it’s the end of one month, the beginning of another and we’ve got a lot of great things to look forward too.
Book Blogger Appreciation Week
The BBAW is this month around the week of September 14th. Now, I would typically jump on this week to feature multiple profiles of some of my favorite book bloggers, but I did a series of Spotlight Ons in July with some great book reviewers who are also bloggers. Many of these book bloggers are also up for awards of their own and I am so happy for all of them. I’ll be featuring a little blip on the sidebar about various book bloggers all month, so be sure to check in on that.
The Daily Dose Coffee Mug
If you look on the left, you’ll notice that you can now order your very own Daily Dose coffee mug. That’s right, I wanted one because I just love the banner art so much and I thought I would share with my readers. Also, beginning in September and running through December, one lucky commentator a month will win a coffee mug. I will randomly draw a name and announce it the last day of the month. You can then contact me with the shipping information and I will send you your very own Daily Dose coffee mug, the perfect accessory for daily inspiration.

You Are So Beautiful, To Me
Spotlight On will feature interviews with cover artists this month including Dan Dos Santos, Kendra Egert, Judy York and Sherin Nicole. These artists are the creative force behind some of the best looking covers in print and e-books.
Charmed and Demonic
Don’t forget the contest to win Charmed and Dangerous (the first of the Charmed series by Candace Havens) and Kiss and Hell by Dakota Cassidy is open until September 10th. If you haven’t entered, you can check out the rules here.
Guest Bloggers, Anniversaries and More
It really is shaping up to be such a great month. If you are interested in guest blogging while I’m out of town, be sure to drop me a note and hopefully we’ll be able to fit you in.
What are you looking forward to next month?

Awesome mug! How cool 🙂
Thank you! I love the mug. I wish I could make it a black mug or a different color mug option, but it's so much fun.
Your mug is indeed fabulous, Heather! Can't wait to get my own!
And what an honor to be a part of your 10th Wedding Anniversary week!
While you and your DH are living it up at Disney World, I'm thrilled to provide all of us here with a sneak peek at my Muse Therapy classes. We'll learn a few tricks on how to rein in our creative divas while you and your DH are reigning over The Magic Kingdom!
