Thankful Thursday (1)


In order to cut down on memes in favor of more reviews and features, I'm going to start doing a "Thankful Thursday" on the last Thursday of each month. It won't be just the books that I receive, but it will also consist of bloggers, authors, lolcats, aliens, and other entities on the interwebz that have made my month amazing. (This month will also have the general wrap-up incorporated into it so I don't swamp you with posts today.)

Books

First things first, I would like to cover the various books I have received. There are two that will be in the May RAK Wrap-Up tomorrow, but I'd like to cover a few that I got in the mail at the tail-end of this month. (If you'd like to see what I got earlier this month, go look herehere, and here.) You'll have to excuse the quality of the picture, but the camera on my phone is quite terrible.

These are some really hard-working people that I am extremely grateful for working with me to bring you quality material Bibliophilia, Please. Sami, and Frank, I cannot thank you enough for sending all of your authors to me for interviews and guest posts. I also want to thank Vickie & Shauni at Innovative Online Book Tours for all they have done for me over the past month. They are lovely ladies to work with, as well.

Bloggers

I know there are quite a few of you guys that are so supportive of me, but I really need to give a shout-out to Tami @ Krazy Book Lady. She has been such a wonderful friend since I started blogging and has shared so much with me about the ins and outs of it. Also thank you to Lisa @ DAC ARC Tours for putting me on the Lies Beneath tour, and Dani @ Refracted Light Reviews for involving me on the Burn Bright tour.

I could say a lot about more of you guys, but I'm pantsing this tonight and running out of time. Trust me, I know who you are, and I'm watching, no admiring, your awesome sauce.

For future posts, are you interested in me putting up a linky list so you can play, too? Should I somehow include what I've purchased, or can I hide how bad, bad, bad I am? Leave your thoughts in the comments. :-)
