One Year Blogoversary Celebrations: Author and Publisher Thanks

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.

The Authors

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!
