Don't forget to enter the international blogoversary giveaway!
For today's post, I would like to extend my thanks to the authors and publishers who have made this journey even more amazing.
Luisa Plaja (Kiss, Date,Love, Hate): As I mentioned before in my Blogging Journey post, Luisa has been such a wonderful supporter. She re-kindled my interest for reading and reviewing by taking me on at Chicklish and encouraging me to start my own blog. I probably wouldn't be here today, talking about my blogoversary, were it not for Luisa. Even as A Reading Daydreamer progressed, she still sent me books to review for both Chicklish and ARD and I really cannot thank her enough for everything she's done. She is such a kind and friendly author as well as blogger and I hope we can stay friends for years to come! Don't forget to come back this Saturday to enter a giveaway for a copy of her book, Kiss, Date, Love, Hate, open internationally!
Katie Dale (Someone Else's Life): When I was still a tiny blogger, Katie invited me to take part in her blog tour for Someone Else's Life. That was incredibly encouraging, especially when I had been blogging for less than a month. To have her appreciation and support was wonderful and I am so glad Someone Else's life has had so much success because I absolutely loved it. I can't wait for her next book!
Sophia Bennett (The Look): Before I started blogging, I'd already read her first book, Threads and really enjoyed it. Then Luisa sent me The Look to review and I absolutely loved it too! But what made me extra happy and excited was when Sophia Bennett herself emailed me to thank me for the review!!! Do you know how overjoyed I was when I received that? I couldn't believe she had read it and now she was THANKING me and inviting me to participate in the blog tour! *squeals* And then on Valentine's Day, she wrote a post with the photo I took of The Look and left a link to my review!!! Wow, just WOW. *runs away to fangirl* Don't forget to get your hands on her soon-to-be-released novel, You Don't Know Me!
Cathy Cassidy (Chocolate Box Girls): Cathy has been one of my favourite authors since I was a 'tween.' She writes such realistic books for young teens and I always like to go back to her books when I need a break from heavier reads. She was really supportive when I first started blogging by posting my reviews of her books and our interview on her Facebook fan page which really helped to bring in more pageviews in those first few weeks when my blog was just a baby and no-one really knew about it. Thank you so much!
And of course, a big thank you to all those other authors out there who work so hard to bring new worlds and new characters to readers everywhere!
I would really love to take this chance to thank the wonderful publishers who send me books to review/approve my requests on Netgalley and for trusting me with review copies and for being patient when waiting for reviews!

Thank YOU very, very much, Beverley!
ReplyDeleteAll of these authors seem absolutely LOVELY. It's awesome when you get author feedback about your review! While I haven't received an email from any author, I've gotten some really lovely comments and Tweets, which never fails to make my day. <3 And I'm always so thankful for those publishers who put up with my massive requesting sprees on NetGalley. xD
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this lovely post, Bev! <3 <3
Happy Blogoversary, Beverley! And thanks so much for your support. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh I love it when an author makes your day by either leaving you a comment or tweeting your review, I find myself with a huge grin on my face for the rest of the day! I hope there's many more exciting moments with publishers and authors for you to come! :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with Jasprit! ♥ I'm also really thankful for all the authors out there and the publishers who continue to support them and book bloggers too.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogoversary, Beverley! Keep up the AMAZING blog and here's to many more ;) ♥♥♥
It is really lovely these days to be able to talk with authors via twitter/email and to know that they appreciate our reviews! And publishers are fantastic for providing us with books :)
ReplyDeleteThat's really lucky of you! I've been (sortof) blogging for 8 months and I just plucked up the courage for book requests last week. I never thought typing emails could be THAT nervous!! Nevertheless, it's obvious that you've had very fruitful blogging times, so Happy Blogoversary! :D

Luisa is lovely! She was very helpful when I was a new blogger too! She gave me books to review - a few for Chicklish and a couple for my own blog which I will always be very thankful for! She helped me get a grasp on how the book blogosphere worked! :P I also love CC because she also let me interview her! :D
ReplyDeleteAll these authors sound amazing! I love that they actually communicate with you and showed appreciation for your reviews. And of course, all the wonderful publishers! I'd definitely love to thank them for all the books they've allowed me to read. Fantastic post, Bev! :)
ReplyDeleteLike you, I love looking back and thinking of all the people that made my blogging, especially in those early days, easier, better and so much more enjoyable. There are authors I'd put on that list, Ann Aguirre especially, publishers I'd like to thank, but most of all my readers.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love that you wrote this post. A year is a long time and I'm glad you made so many contacts and friends.
