The Blogger Positivity Campaign: Letter to an Author Who Inspired Me

Hello, everyone! As you may know, I've been participating in The Blogger Positivity Campaign, hosted by Jillian from Jillian's Books. It's a short event meant to bring back the positive feelings that we need in the book blogging community. You can follow along on Jillian's blog, my blog, all the other participating blogs, and on Twitter by using #SpreadTheLove. 

Waiting on Wednesday (51)

Waiting on Wednesday is a bookish feature/meme created and hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine.

Each week, bloggers and readers shine the spotlight on upcoming book titles that they are waiting on.

You might be able to tell that this is one of my favorite bookish memes. I usually post a Waiting on Wednesday every week because I just think it's really fun to explore upcoming titles and authors.


 It's pretty simple to participate in Waiting on Wednesday:

• Create your own Waiting on Wednesday post that features an upcoming title (or titles) - I usually only go with one book a week because seeing all the titles can be a bit overwhelming for me.
• Be sure to credit Jill somewhere in your post (see how I credited her above?)
• Link up to the Linky on Jill's blog so that others can see your post
