AROUND THE BLOGOSPHERE:
- Don't forget to check out ALL the amazing giveaways (some are still going on!!), guest posts, winners, and much more over at the official Book Blogger Appreciation Week website!!
- Once again, J. Kaye had a great post that got me thinking, titled Book Chat vs Book Reviews vs Twitter Book Chat. Wouldn't it be great if we "virtually" read books with our fellow bloggers, chatting along the way and then sharing our final thoughts?!? Brilliant, isn't it?!? It got me thinking and brainstorming . . . let's see where it goes from there?!?
ADDITIONAL UPDATES:
- Yesterday afternoon, I hosted a Literary Pirate party!!!!! We only ended up having one additional guest (not bad for just moving to this city a few months ago!), but we had a total blast!! As soon as I download the photos, edit them as needed, etc., I will be posting all about it here!!! Despite the lack of attendees, I have every intention of doing something similar in the Spring, but with a different theme!!! Nothing makes me happier than spreading the love of reading!! :)
- I posted about a multitude of awards that I have received over the last few weeks. Awards truly make me smile!!
- Don't forget that this month is Roald Dahl month!!!!!!! Read a book, watch a movie, and/or visit his website!!!!!
Great list of books to be reviewed!
ReplyDeleteFYI... The correct spelling is "Edgar Allan Poe" - there's no "e" in his so-called middle name.
