BBAW (Book Blogger Appreciate Week)

Today is the start of BBAW and what a great year it's been. There's so many fabulous new blogs to follow and so many awesome bloggers we've had the chance to meet. I love that there are so many different book bloggers out there. It's so amazing to think that so many people are book bloggers all because of their love for books.

Today's BBAW theme is Community. The book blogging community is amazing. The Mundie Moms blog has definitely had it share of community support. Today I wanted to take a moment to really thank those who have at one point been apart of MM's. These are bloggers who have made an impact on MM's with their insightful reviews both on our forum & blog and have become an even bigger impact in the book blogging world.

Sophie- Who's not only my saving grace with MM's on both the blog and forum, but she's also a reviewer for Page Turners. I'm amazed at all she does. Plus she's my excuse for using #HotBoysWithSwords on the blog, since she came up with that phrase (there S, I've now used that phrase on the blog) LOL

A Blog About Nothing- Cynthia has been apart of MM's on both sites since the get go. Along with her fabulous site, she also posts reviews here on the blog, and moderates our Book of the Month Forum on the blog.

The Crocked Shelf - Carla was one of the first MM forum members who started reviewing for MM's back when the blog first started. I've always admire her brutally honest reviews.

Fire & Ice - Heather not only reviewed for Mundie Moms, but she also reviewed for Mundie Kids. I totally love Heather's blog. It's unique and creative. I admire her talent for combining photography and jewelry making with her love of books.

Page Turners Blog- I've known Amber for a few years now and it's been so much fun meeting up with her for various get together signings in the Austin and Houston areas, from Cassie Clare to Holly Black, Scott Westerfeld, Sarah Rees Brennan, Smart Chicks and more.

Reading Lark- Andrea's blog has a fabulous collection of MG, YA and Adult reviews. She also includes a variety of unique and popular memes that make her blog engaging and inviting.

Jennifer- (I need the link to her new blog) Started the forum with me and she's responsible for all of our cool graphics/banners. She's not only a book reviewer on her own site, she's also started writing. GO Jennifer! One of these days she may be back on the blog to have a live author chat with us. :)

If you haven't already, I highly recommend visiting each of these blogs!

It's amazing to think how one book can bring people together from all over the world and create lasting friendships. After I put this list together I realized that almost all of us started out on another book fan site, Twilight Moms site. That site gave us a place to go to, to discuss our love for Stephenie's series, and from there our friendships developed and continue to grow. Now we, along with a lot of other TMs have all branched out and created sites where we could continue talking about our love for books.

Now that I've gone totally off topic with my totally random comment and created a post that's probably too long and boring, I want to end it by saying THANK YOU to all of YOU wonderful bloggers and followers for making the blogging community such a fabulous place. There are so many bloggers that I've enjoyed getting to know since MM's started. You've inspired me, supported me, and you've understood me when people aren't apart of the book blogging community thought I was crazy for reading and reviewing YA books. haha (no joke). Cheers to book bloggers for making a difference in the reading community! I hope you all have a fabulous week!
