What fun it's been to "meet" illustrators, authors, and book bloggers through the Challenge! Getting out of my "writing silo" where I see only my computer screen and the books that I'm recommending so that I interact more with the diverse and supportive kidlit community online - priceless!
Since BooksYALove is a fairly new blog, I'm grateful for new visitors (and new followers - yay!) who will help spread the word about the wonderful YA books from debut authors and smaller imprints that I'm discovering.
After all, I'm writing these recommendations (no spoilers ever! I promise) for YA readers... right book for the right reader!

You might also try Tagxedo, a different way to wordle. I found you through the comment challenge! Good to read a new 'voice'.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I've used Tagxedo also - just depends on which one I remember first! Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the link. I'm glad I stopped by as part of the comment challenge or I would have never known about "wordling".
ReplyDeleteNew authors are lucky to have you pitching for them. Keep up the good work.

I'm currently working toward my MLIS, so finding a blog like yours is priceless. Looking forward to reading your reviews!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, y'all! I feel like I come up with many gems from my TBR (to be read) pile and love sharing them with readers who might not otherwise find them.
DeleteLaura, I hope you also subscribe to the LM_NET listserv for school librarians - we help one another out all the time!
Wordles were fun to play around with!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the comment challenge, too! So many interesting new blogs to follow!
