Can you believe it? Nine years! Where has the time gone?
I found my tribe nine years ago and it has changed my life. A girl who already loved reading blew that love up into the stratosphere when she discovered book blogging and this wonderful bookish community. This blog started it all for me. I not only blog here, and at my sister (horror) blog,
Castle Macabre, but I also host two book clubs on Goodreads, host six readathons yearly at
Seasons of Reading, and I have a community reading site,
Gather Together and Read, from which I host all of my reading challenges (and read-alongs of books from those challenges).
I know my blogging/reviews have slacked off a bit, but I'm still around and I'm trying to get back into more regular review writing. In the meantime, I'm participating in
Roof Beam Reader's
Austin in August, and I still host
Cat Thursday every week.
I'd like to thank everyone who follows me and takes the time to read what I post. As many of you know, blogging is a labor of love. We don't get paid. A person must have a real passion for it to keep at it year after year. I have no intention of stopping. I love it. I love all the friends I've made, all the great authors I've met, and all of the wonderful books I've discovered.
So, in recognition of nine wondrous years, and to thank you for your friendship and loyalty, I'm hosting a little giveaway.
I'm giving away a $10 gift certificate (egift) from Better World Books to one lucky winner. All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me a book you've read recently that you would recommend. Don't forget to leave your email address so I can contact the winner. (Anyone who does not leave an email address will not be entered. If you're afraid of a bot stealing it, enter it like so: truebookaddict AT gmail DOT com) This giveaway will end on September 1st at 12 midnight central time.
Good luck...and thanks again for being here!
