All You Need is Love <3 !

I had a great day today. I had a very productive day of cleaning house and doing laundry as well as spending some quality time with my family.

I also accomplished a blog post! My In My Mailbox post is rather long but it’s 15 weeks of mail.

But the reason for this post is to share with you one of the reasons why I blog. Not only to share my love of books with others but to show others that they too can express their feelings on not just books but anything that makes you think and thus write to express your thoughts on something you love.

Today I received a Tweet from Adam (@YA_Weekly).

His Tweet:

Shout-Outs to (Better) Blogs such as @acozyreader, @YABookShelf, @theStorySiren, and @Booksmugglers at my new blog: http://t.co/ZiWlEqO

To be included in a Tweet with those other bloggers really had my interest peaked. Then I followed his link and my heart burst with gratitude for his kind words.

(Better) Blogs

thecozyreader.com Jess doesn't know it, but she was one of my earlier influences. Her blog itself looks inviting and has a homely, living room feeling to it and I often want to relax into one of her recommended reads after visiting her site.

Dear Adam,

Thank you Adam. I’m so grateful to hear that what I’ve been doing for nearly 4 years has inspired you to join the ranks of review bloggers. I would love to hear more on what exactly I did to influence you but I’ll take what I’ve been given so far. I hope I continue to provide inspiration to you and all my readers.

Love is all you need to succeed.

I’d love it if all my followers followed Adam’s blog. It sounds like he has a lot in store for us!

Follow Adam!

In My Mailbox: Week 27 and retrospective

Wow, I haven’t done an In My Mailbox in forever! I just haven’t had the time to sit down and do it (I started this 3 weeks ago). I’ve been back to work now for 3 weeks but still haven’t managed to get my blog included in my schedule. I hope to remedy that soon. I have a few reviews written but need to format them and I have quite a few I still need to write.

Check out my previous post for an update on my personal goings-on.

Thanks to Kristi at The Story Siren for hosting this weekly topic!

I’m just posting the covers that link to Amazon.com, except for the winnings. :)
