I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by The Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews; Bought Borrowed and Bagged, hosted by TalkSupe; and Library Loot co-hosted by The Captive Reader and Silly Little Mischief. All of these memes are about sharing the print
and digital books received and/or posts and events on the blog.
I am a bad, bad blogger. I was filling out a form and realized that I had once again missed my blog's birthday. I think one year I remembered. :D The blog turned 4 at the beginning of the month. Four years, hard to believe. Once I have a job, I'll do some sort of giveaway to celebrate. On the job front, I had several interviews and I'm feeling good about them.

Thank you for sharing, Bea! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday, filled with plenty of reading. :)
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, and thanks. :)
DeleteHappy birthday (blogwise)! 4 years is pretty dang awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe World according to Bob looks very good, and inspiring too. I think I heard about the first one, sound familiar, nice to see another one too. Curious about these...
I still need to read the first one; it's on my kindle. But this came up at the library and didn't want to miss it.
DeleteHappy Blogoversary. It's always a wonderful thing to celebrate. You got some awesome books in your haul this week.

You've added some nice books this week, Bea. Congrats on your blogoversary--4 years is impressive. My blog will be 2 in October. Hope your job search will be over soon and that you land a fabulous permanent position.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
You are a good, good blogger! (You're just calendar challenged, like me! I missed my fifth this summer, of all things.) Congratulations on 4 years; that's awesome and you should be proud of your accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed and prayers going up that one of those interviews turns into a job. I'm sure it will, one of these days soon!
Entangled Dreams looks good, hope you enjoy and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad I have been blogging for a long time now and I think I celebrated my blog's birthday like once. When I first started I didn't even know they did such things and never thought to remember when I started I just know it was in 2007, so I don't even know when my blog turns another year older..lol.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Stormi
Happy Blogoversary! I have to admit, I've often forgotten mine too.
