This week is one in the US where we take stock and give thanks. The end of the year is getting closer and we will have a year in review in December. But 2015 has been pretty remarkable and I have plenty to be grateful for, only some of which I will talk about here.
I am thankful for all the wonderful reviewers that have come to read and review here at Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words, and we have gained quite a few this year. Our perspectives on books have grown, we’ve brought in more authors and countries. My own TBR list now resembles something like Santa’s…long and winding because of all the new books and authors our reviewers have brought to my attention and hopefully yours.
We’ve brought new original blogs online. Paul’s Paranormal Portfolio and Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Word’s Author Discovery, YA Saturday, M/M First Line Quizzes, whatever comes to mind, our group of reviewers seem to chime in with great ideas and new possibilities for our blog. I love that! And yes, grow we will (channeling my inner Yoda).
To my Reviewers! Thank you in no particular order, Barb the Zany Old Lady, Sammy, Paul B, BJ, Mika, Stella, F. D., Jeri, Wynter, Ali, and Aurora. To totally embarrass you all. Wild things! You make my heart sing, you make everything groovy..and this blog wouldn’t work without you all and your wonderful contributions. Mwah!
To Our Readers! I’m thankful for all you readers who follow us on here, on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and wherever else we land. We love our books, its why we write our reviews. We write them for our readers, for you. So please keep your comments coming. We love to hear them. And if you think there is a author out there for us, suggest them to us too!
Whew! Like those Academy Awards, I think I hear the music and its telling me to stop now, pleases stop! Almost done.
Last Saturday, we started our November M/M First Line Quiz. You have 1 more week to find the answers and send them in if you want to win the prize. Get going! Here is the link.
Everyone who celebrates have a safe and happy Thanksgiving in the United States and for all the expats abroad.
Now for this weeks schedule.
