600 followers strong (+ giveaway)

If there’s anything that will make me smile after a tumultuous day, it’s finding out that new people are finding and following my blog. This isn’t a pride thing (okay, it IS, a little bit) so much as a “AHHHH!!! look how many people I get to share awesome books with!” thing. It’s silly, but I used to think I was the only book nerd alive (aside from our local librarians. they were rad. but i was still scared of them.). Affirming that there are more bibliophiles in the world each day? Beyond great.

I get a thrill out of recommending a special title and finding out later that a friend connected with a book. I love finding that out about internet acquaintances, too! And there’s a place in my heart for those who share my taste in books. THIS is why I like holding giveaways. I want all of you to love the books I love, and the first step towards that is getting them in your hands.
