Book Blogger Love-A-Thon mini-challenge #5


For the final mini-challenge we're talking top blogging moments!

My top moments outside of the internet:

- First signing ever with Kimberly Derting
I finally went to my first signing ever this past year. It was a small thing at a local bookstore with
Kimberly Derting. She talked about The Body Finder series, her covers, and there was plenty of
laughing :] It was the perfect first signing!

- Blogger dinner
Back in December a rep from Harper was here in Seattle and invited all of us Seattle bloggers to a
dinner. It was the first time I really got to know the local bloggers and it was super fun (and tasty!) Plus,
it made me feel like I was a part of something awesome :]

- ALA
I still can't really believe it happened even though I had the sore muscles to prove it for a week. It was
fantastic to hang out with the Seattle bloggers for the weekend and get to talk with some of the
publishers. I've always been a little scared of publishers because I feel like an ant that doesn't register on
their radar, but most of them were super nice :] Mostly, though it was just great to be surrounded by
loads of people who also loved books!

On the internet:
- First time an author tweeted at me (I believe it was Elizabeth Miles)
It was so surreal. I never in a million years would have thought an author would care about my review.
It was one of those moments that made me like people actually cared about my little blog.

- When Jaime (Perpetual Page-Turner) tweeted about my blog
I don't even remember when this was (it wasn't a dream, right?), but I do remember practically falling
off the couch when I saw it. I mean, when the awesome Jaime tells people to look at your blog you
tend to freak out a little.

  1. Love this post! I want to go to ALA one of these years, it sounds awesome! And that blogger lunch makes me want to move to Seattle! I bet that would be so fun.
    So a funny story about Kimberly Derting: My friend and I were at the RT conference and we got so lost walking around trying to find the entrance so we ask this woman (who was at the back of a long line) if that's where we lined up to go in. She says "No, this is the Starbucks line" Naturally, this was Kimberly Derting and I thought I was going to die!
