It has been a whirlwind week with plenty of blogging activities all over the blogosphere. For those of you participating or just following along with the Book Blogger Appreciation Week events, you know exactly what I mean. I enjoyed so many different aspects of this week, especially the coming together of bloggers from around the world to celebrate each other. I made new friends, picked up a few great tips, added book titles and authors names to my reading wish list, and feel a renewed sense of pride in what I am doing here at Musings of a Bookish Kitty. I am not sure I would have stuck to blogging as long as I have without the many wonderful friends I have made since I began, not to mention the opportunities and doors blogging has opened up for me. I am especially grateful to you all, my dear readers, as well as my fellow bloggers who have made this such a great community to be a part of.
I had not intended to have a giveaway this week, but it turned out I had extra copies of a couple of books sitting on my shelf. I figured this was as good a time as any to find good homes for them. I was excited to see so much interest in them. I only wish I could offer a copy to everyone who entered the drawings. The winners were chosen randomly through random.org.
