Erin's Bloggoversary

Source
Wooohoooo! It is official, I have been blogging with Mint Tea and A Good Book for one WHOLE year (and a little bit)! Now, the short story behind me and my blogginess. I loved to read and I loved Mint Tea and A Good Book. I was inspired by my dear friend Meredith's blog, so I decided to give book blogging a whirl. One day I emailed my dear compadre Meredith and asked if she would mind helping me come up with some names for a possible book blog, and wha-la she asked if I wanted to join Mint Tea and A Good Book. My sister can attest to the fact that I literally jumped off the couch and did a happy dance when I got the MTGB offer. Shortly after joining MTGB Meredith came over and gave me the low-down on blogging and blogger, which was very helpful considering I had never blogged before. Ever since joining MTGB I have had an awesome time blogging!

Some of my favorite parts of book blogging/being a part of Mint Tea and A Good Book are:
  1. Interacting with the readers of the blog via comments :)
  2. Interviewing authors and editors
  3. Practicing my writing skills
  4. Getting to reflect on the books I read by creating reviews
  5. I have become an avid reader, and reading has become a bigger part of who I am since joining MTGB. 

Special Thanks To...
  1. Meredith: Thank you for getting me started and inviting me to be part of Mint Tea and A Good Book! Thanks for being a great friend and going to all book-related events with me.
  2. Willa from Willa's Ramblings- You whole-heartedly look at some of my reviews before I post them to make sure that I don't have any glaring errors, so thank you for saving me from embarrassment. Also, thanks for loving John Green books and Jellicoe Road as much as I do.
  3. Readers- I have written some pretty strange and bad reviews, and I am still practicing how to write an entertaining yet honest review. Thanks for hanging in there and reading everything I've written. 
Extra Side-Note:  I now have a Mint Tea and A Good Book email which is: erinminttea@gmail.com . Feel free to email me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. 

Yip-Skippity, that is all I have to say.
