Time to ride out on the open range and rope ourselves some steers!
On second thought, it's 9 below zero by the thermometer this morning!! (just about the coldest it's ever been here) - and goodness knows how cold with the windchill!! Definitely too cold to take the cow ponies out of the barn. Also, I don't know how to rope steers.
Let's have Something Chocolate and play Would You Read It instead :)
I vote for molten chocolate cake since it's so cold :)

Today's pitch comes to us from Kirsten who is an aspiring author, a reading teacher, a mom of three, and a lover of all things sweet! You can find her on FB at https://www.facebook.com/kirsten.bock
Here is her pitch:
Working Title: Gwynivere The Ear Finds Her Nose
Age/Genre: Picture Book (ages 5-7)
The Pitch: Gwynivere the Ear, self-proclaimed superhero, can hear citizens in distress from miles away. Unfortunately, chaos seems to follow Gwynivere closely; almost as closely as her arch nemesis, Nosy Rosy. And, as much as Gwynivere proclaims that “superheroes don’t need help,” she will soon discover that everyone can use a helping hand (or nose) once in awhile.
So what do you think? Would You Read It? YES, MAYBE or NO?

Helpful examples of possible alternate wordings are welcome. (However, I must ask that comments be constructive and respectful. I reserve the right not to publish comments that are mean because that is not what this is about.)

Kirsten is looking forward to your thoughts on her pitch! I am looking forward toriding the open range and roping some steers when we get out of double negative digits!
And before we go, I want to sincerely thank everyone who donated to Scott's campaign on Monday, or who purchased books from his store, or who still might be thinking of doing one or the other. It means so much to me and to him, and I really can't thank you enough! (And in case you missed it, you can read about it HERE.)
Have a wonderful Wednesday, everyone! Happy reading, writing, teaching, parenting, steer roping, or whatever is on your agenda for today!
