Aside | Book Blogger Appreciation Week

Ok I’m a little behind – the Book Blogger Appreciation Week kicked off yesterday and I forgot to post about it!

The week is the brainchild of My Friend Amy who wanted to show her appreciation for the fantastic book blogging community by bringing us all together in what she describes as “a retreat for book bloggers and a chance for us to totally nerd out over books together. And of course, shower each other with love and appreciation.”

The inaugural BBAW is already looking set to be a massive success with tons of giveaways and guest bloggers, awards and book-related fun activities.

Look out for more BBAW related posts coming this week – and while you’re here be sure to check out my own BBAW giveaway – my copy of The Secret of Lost Things by Sheridan Hay.

Here’s a link to the other giveaways too.
