Book Blogger Love-A-Thon: Mini Challenge #5

2013 Book Blogger Love-A-Thon

I cannot believe the time has come to have our very last Mini Challenge! I am still making my way through some of the previous ones (don’t worry, your comments are coming!) but I have seriously LOVED looking through your guys’ posts all day. You are such a wonderful, kind, talented, super awesome group of people and I am honored to have been able to “meet” you through today’s events.

For this very last challenge we ask that you write about your top blogging moments so far. It can be actual book events or personal things that have happened with you and your blog. Whatever the case may be, write up a post listing them off then come back here to link up. Please take a chance to go around to fellow Love-A-Thon participants to check out some of their favorite moments as well!

So the past two and a half years of blogging have been phenomenal! I have been truly blessed to stumble into such an awesome community of bloggers, authors, publishers, and other fantastic bookish people. It is truly those of you that have made each milestone, stumble, and accomplishment so very worth it. While blogging has not only introduced me to awesome people in the blogging community by it has also given me the opportunity to meet some incredible authors!

Author events, book signings, the RT Conference, etc. have all given me the opportunity to meet some truly incredible writers. And guys, being a book nerd it is like HOLY FREAKING AMAZEBALLS, I GET TO MEET AN AUTHOR each and every time!

Me and Leah Clifford

Me and Charlotte Bennardo

Me and Carrie Harris

Dark Days

Me and Stacey Kade

Me and Kimberly Derting

Me and Stephanie Perkins

On top of that, I have had the pleasure to meet some pretty spectacular bloggers in person! While this has been more limited because let’s face it, Michigan houses not too many bloggers (there are a few though and they rock), so it makes this part a bit harder. Regardless, I enjoy the time that I have with these bloggers in real life every time!

RT Bloggers

Me and Alexa

But as incredible as all of these opportunities have been (and trust me, they have been AMAZING), it is nothing compared to the day-to-day conversations, amounts of support, and incredible kindness I see coming from the blogging community. I thought about the Love-A-Thon 2 years ago on Valentines Day. At that time I just suggested people try to comment on 5 blogs to “help spread the love”. And then last year’s Love-A-Thon proved to be a success with bloggers signing up to help spread blogger love all over. BUT today blew all of that away and I owe that to my lovely co-host Alexa and all of you! I choose today as my favorite moment because you have all been so freaking amazing. Honestly, I cannot say that enough. It has been a true honor to host this event because you guys are amazeballs. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making today not only so incredible but also so full of love, support, and a sense of community around the blogosphere!

  1. How fun! I’ve always wanted to go to the RT Conference and I only ever make it to a few signing, it’s no fun not having a car.
    It’s so awesome that loveathon was trending!

  2. Thanks again for all your work for the Love-a-Thon. Loved your list, especially all the awesome people you’ve gotten to meet. That’s what makes this all worthwhile.

  3. AHHH!!! Why wasn’t I on twitter when Love-a-Thon was trending??? That’s awesome news and I wish I saw it for myself! Love that you have such a great time blogging and meeting people! I love meeting people! :)

  4. Thanks so much for co-hosting and being so active in promoting the Love-A-Thon! I had a great time, and will definitely be in the know for next time so I can do more and be around!

  5. I was bawling in the airport in Hong Kong because we were trending. How amazing and wonderful and awesome is that? Everyone who joined in on the LoveAThon ROCKS.

    Also, I love you and I’m so glad we’re friends and that we’ve actually hung out in person. Perhaps we can do that again at BEA this year?

    • You and me both, although I was not at an airport in Hong Kong. Even now, a week later I am beyond amazed that we were trending. And yes we most certainly are hanging out at BEA this year! I wouldn’t have it any other way :)
