Your love for books and reading really shines through, above all else! …And I think that this next point is somewhat related: While I enjoy the giveaways that you offer, I can see that this is not the primary focus of your blog— or, the reason why you are here. This is something that I truly appreciate! Your love of what you do is contagious, and I thank you for that. 🙂
    —Ann

  54. We tend to read some of the same books. I mostly read PNR these days and I like to see what others are thinking of the same kinds of books that I read. I like your reviews and giveaways. Happy blogoversary! 6 years is awesome!

    • Thank you Mary.
      I’m glad to have you as a follower. I’m the same way as you in that I like to see what others that like what I read are thinking on the same books I’ve read or just what they are interested in these days. As you know I’m mostly PNR and UF, but over the years I’ve tried some other genres, but the paranormal element is my main focus.
      Have a wonderful day and happy reading!

  55. We read similar books even though I have found some new authors from your posts. Your site is always neat. Emails are not overwhelming. Keep up the great work!

    • Thank you Tammy.
      I’m glad to have you as a follower and that you find the blog neat and that I’ve introduced you to some new authors/books. I didn’t have any goals when I started the blog, but I did have some ideas on how I wanted it to work. I follow a lot of blogs myself and some are neat and others it’s just too hard to navigate or find things. I wanted this blog to be easy to navigate and find what you are interested in. As for emails well that was scary at first. I wasn’t sure what I was doing, but I did find what I liked in other author and blogger emails, so I made them short and sweet.
      Have a great day and happy reading!
