Welcome to day number five of Book Blogger Appreciation Week 2012!! Today is the last and final day of Book Blogger Appreciation Week 2012 and it's a day to reflect on the week at hand.
I am truly grateful that I took part in the interview swap on day two of Book Blogger Appreciation Week 2012! It was a lot of fun and allowed me to try something new. I'd never interviewed anyone for my blog before. Brooke, from i blog 4 books, was the best person I could have asked to be paired up with for the interview swap. I had a lot of fun exploring her blogging and I enjoyed coming up with interview questions to ask her... It was also a lot of fun reading her responses to my interview questions. Likewise, I enjoyed answering the interview questions she'd posed to me in return. I look forward to participating in the Book Blogger Appreciation Week 2013 Interview Swap!!
I've also added Australian author, Estelle Pinney, to my list of authors whose writing I'd like to explore in the future. I look forward to reading one of her books thanks to Mozette from My Reading List!
Another blogger had mentioned how wonderful Margaret Mahy's The Tricksters was, so I now look forward to adding this book to my ever growing collection of books to be read!
This was my first year participating and this event rocked! I came across so many new to me bloggers who share my passion which made the week even better.

Thank you for the compliment on my blog. I just started blogging this year and have had a lot of fun with it so far. It's wonderful to connect with other people. Avid book lovers and readers are wonderful people!!
DeleteBtw, I love the look of your blog and its layout!! It's really eye catching. I can see why have over 1000 followers to your blog!!
I'm so glad you had fun! Thanks for participating. :)
ReplyDeleteYour welcome!! Thanks for organizing this event each year! I can't wait to participate in BBAW 2013. Maybe we can do some Book Memes next year?? The interview swap was a blast!!
DeleteI'm so happy you found a new author to read. Estelle is from the older generation; so her writing is from that era too. I find her books are a great escape from the modern works if I want to immerse myself into something different.
ReplyDeleteWhich book by Estelle Pinney do you recommend reading first?
DeleteAny of them... I read 'House on the Hill' first as it was the first one I bought of hers. However, any of them are great. They are all based around Queensland and some are based around Brisbane - where I live - during WWII (the one based in Brisbane would be 'Time Out For Living'... a great book I've yet to read, but I know it's based here as in the blurb is mentions the city). Another one I've recently picked up is 'Burnt Sunshine' and I found that one in a bookstore and it's signed along with another copy of 'House on the Hill' which I gave to Mum as she had always wanted a signed copy of it and never owned one... she loves it. :D
DeleteGreat, thank you for the information!
DeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. It's been fun to connect with other book bloggers!
