It's Time For My Three Year Blogiversary!

It's so hard to believe but three years ago this month I started this blog! I never thought that I'd get 10 followers let alone almost 300! Wow! To show my appreciation to all of you and to showcase some great new Christian fiction and the uber-talented people who write it I'm hosting a blogiversary party from March 12-16th. There are going to be some great authors stopping by that week with brand new books that are hot off the presses to give away. I. Am. So. Excited. Three of the four authors (Ms. Bricker is a Black 'n Gold Girl veteran) are brand new to me and to this blog so I hope you all stop by and say howdy! It's going to be a super sweet party with some great giveaways that you won't want to miss!

Here's the VIP list and schedule for the week...

Monday, March 12- A welcome to the party with my giveaway announcement!
Tuesday, March 13- Author Sandra Bricker
Wednesday, March 14- Author Lisa Norato
Thursday, March 15- Author Mesu Andrews
Friday, March 16- Author Ramona K. Cecil
Sunday, March 18- Winners from all giveaways (yep, there's one everyday, either something from the author or something from me) announced & notified.

RSVP Bonus:
Grab one of the buttons below, post it on your blog, come back here to this post and let me know you did so before March 11 @ 11:59pm EST and get an extra entry for each giveaway that you enter! Giveaways are all US only.





Good luck and happy reading! Hope to see you at the party!

    I've snatched your button (or did so the other day). It is so amazing to me that time has really gone by so fast since we all started this book blogging madness. I started before I even thought of AppleBlossom or OrangeBlossom... I started in 2007! That seems forever ago now... LOL

    I miss having GFC on Wordpress.org - now I have no idea how many if any followers, and perhaps they're all gone. :(

    And I just noticed you review Christian Fiction, a genre I've generally shyed away from despite being an active churchy girl, but my tastes are just not what seem to fit typical inspriational fiction. I have read one or two recommended to me. I'm very interested to see what you review and may check it out.
