Book promotion takes a lot of energy, creativity, and hard work. Since it is the holiday season, how about taking a short -- very short!!! -- break from book promotion to surf some mindlessly fun Web sites that (I promise!) have nothing whatsoever to do with either books or promotion? Here's a great link from MSNBC that, itself, links to sites where you can make a snowflake, have an online snowball fight, or even find some holiday tunes.

Have fun, and we'll meet back here soon to talk about book promotion!
