BBAW || Everything Must Come to an End


I'm a little late in posting this, but I thought I'd share anyway, as it's Book Blogger Appreciation Week! Today's topic: What did you get out of this week? What will you take with you in the future?

I think, more than anything, this week gave me a chance to reach out to other bloggers, both to highlight old favorites and to meet new ones. Though I have yet to go through and comment on everyone's links, I can definitely say that I enjoyed making more connections with people.

This week left me feeling all warm and fuzzy towards the book blogging community. One of the things that I love most about being a book blogger (in spite of any recent controversy or conflict) is how there's always a sense of community and connection with other book bloggers. And this warm fuzzy feeling of connection is definitely something I'll be taking with me into the future.

    Absolutely! It was great to spend a week with such positivity in this community. The last year had its ups and downs, as far as book blogging in general was concerned(drama, perceptions, etc.) ...so participating in this event with so many great folks writing such great, thoughtful, and fun posts...wonderful!
