So I was thinking about how much I've been failing at commenting on blogs lately and it made me think about what else I can do to show bloggers that I love them. I spend a lot of time writing blog posts and that's part of the reason I don't have a lot of time to go and comment bomb all the bloggers that I love. And I thought about how awesome the Love-a-Thon is that Alexa hosts every year in February. And then it just hit me. Why am I only showing blogger love in February? Why not all year long? So I'm going to do these sporadic posts just sharing the love. I plan on featuring a different blogger in each post and just talking about why I love the blogger, their blog, etc.
First up is one of my favorite bloggers ever, Wendy from Book Scents! I'm choosing Wendy because: a). she's awesome and b). we are currently rereading the Throne of Glass series together and have been texting back and forth like crazy so I'm really feeling the love for this girl right now.
Wendy gets me. We like the same books. We like the same book boys (mostly). She's the girl I can count on to gush and flail over books with. She gets rambly and nonsensical with me over our favorite ships. She's exactly like me in the sense that sometimes she gets so excited over something that she just has no words. She's one of my people guys.
And her blog is awesome! Her reviews are concise and to the point, but provide just enough detail that I know whether or not I'll like the book. In the fall she does this awesome feature on football and books. Because football is awesome obviously. And so are books. So why not put them together?? Wendy also participates in Book Bangin' and her videos are always so entertaining.
She regularly comment bombs me and those are seriously my favorite days. Reading all her comments always makes me smile or laugh out loud.
I got to meet Wendy at BEA in 2014 and it was so awesome to get to hang out in person. We waited in the Heir of Fire signing line for like 3.5 hours (no joke, it was that long), but it didn't even feel that bad because we were talking and laughing and just having an awesome time.
So much love to you, Wendy. Keep being awesome and keep sending me flaily texts and voice messages! <3
Everyone do me a favor, go visit Wendy's blog and leave her a comment!
Love Wendy! She's so great!!
ReplyDeleteYes she is!
DeleteThat's so neat! It's always great when you find someone you can read with and geek out over the same books. I hope you both enjoy the Throne of Glass series to the max! I'll look forward to your reviews!
ReplyDeleteYes for sure! I've actually already reviewed all of them. They're archived on my reviews pages. Queen of Shadows is going to kill me!!
DeleteThis seriously made my morning!! You're too sweet!!! I LOVE that we're rereading ToG together right now and are simultaneously dying over our love of Chaol and how this series can either make or destroy our souls. And I loved hanging out with you at BEA!! That line wasn't even tedious because we had so much fun chatting! I really hope we both can make it to BEA next year so then we can hang out again! Umm yes the flaily texts and rambling voice msgs will def continue... can you imagine what we will be like come next Tuesday?!?
ReplyDeleteYes, this reread has been so much fun!! Seriously I never want it to end. We should definitely read/reread more books together. I'm going to do my best to make BEA happen! Let's definitely room together if we can both make it!
