Let There Be Fanfare (and a Book Giveaway!)
This just in: Today TLT surpassed Half a Million Page Views.
As a thank you to our readers, I’m going to give away a box of 5 books. Just leave a comment between now and Friday, March 29th to be entered to win. Leave an email or Twitter contact so we can get in touch with you. Because of shipping costs, I am very sorry but we have to keep it to US readers only. If you live outside the US, please know I love you!!
Also, thank you to Stephanie Wilkes, Christie Gibrich, and Heather Booth who spend A LOT of time answering e-mails, writing posts, and just putting up with me in general. They are the best co-bloggers EVAR.
And thanks to Cuyler Creech, Chris Dahl, our Tween reviewers, Kearsten and more for their occasional appearances here.
And, of course, thanks to the authors who have shared posts and the publishers who sometimes send ARCs for us to review.
