The Happy Tonic - Add a little Happiness to your life: June 2011

Authors and Publishers

If your a publisher or author and would like me to review, host a contest, do an interview, or to just help spread the word about your book, please email me at charlawilson@me.com or lalas@cableone.net

I love books! I would love to read and review your book! I also love blogging about books and sharing that love with others. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help spread the word about your book. I would be more than happy to accept review copies from publishers and authors. I would also be happy to participate in author interviews, blog tours, and host contests.

I accept ebooks that can be loaded onto kindle.

I will always give review books top priority. Therefore, I will read the book in a timely manner. I will try not to post the review until about a month prior to release.

I will review every book that I read. I will only accept books that I believe I would like to read. If I do not like the book, I will not give it a totally negative review. I can usually find something good about every book I read. I would rather say nothing than give a book a total negative review. Just because I don't like a book does not mean that someone else would. Even if I don't review the book, I can spotlight it on my blog by offering it in a contest, or just do a Spotlight post on the book.

Thank You!

New mollie Makes Magazine Review/Crochet Patterns/ Felt and Sewing Patterns

I found this great new magazine today at Barnes Noble!It is from the UK. I have to

say that I am impressed. It is full of beautiful photographs and patterns for you to make your own beautiful items. It comes with a kit to make a cover for your smart phone. It has all of the supplies needed except the thread. The instructions and the pattern to finish your phone case are inside the magazine. The crochet pattern for the apple holders that are on the cover are also included. There is a great article about

Dottie Angel. There is a wonderful article for Happy Little Garlands and the directions for making your own. A great article, Dreaming of a Summer Party has information for throwing th perfect Summer Party, including, invitations and decorations. And look at this beautiful way to dress up your old bicycle!

There is an adorable Chihuahua pattern included, patterns for Peter Pan Collars and so much more.The next issue looks to be equally awesome and it will have a free felt flower kit included. I would love a subscription for this magazine but just checked the U.S. price and it is like $60.00/year, so I guess I will just keep checking the shelves at BN and if I come across a really good one, buy it.

Here are a couple of other pictures
