Book Blogger Love-A-Thon!

The Book Blogger Love-A-Thon is hosted by Katelyn @ Kate's Tales of Books and Bands, if you want to know what it's all about, check out this post!

So today is all about sharing the love and while I'm not officially participating, as I have about half an hour of time on the internet before I should really be eating/showering/getting ready to go out tonight/cleaning (yes, it's very likely that will be skipped).
BUT I thought this was a wonderful idea! And it made me want to write a post about how much I love this community.

Because I do. Very much! I've gotten to know wonderful people through blogging and Twitter has allowed me to more easily get in contact with them and it's great! I mean, just last week I got a new haircut and I showed it to my friends on Twitter even before my boyfriend had seen it (ok, so this was also because he wasn't home for another 5 hours, but still).

I love living in Holland, but it's this community that has me wishing I lived in the US because then I'd get to meet you all!

I want to give a special shoutout to some of my friends on this day of blogger-love :) :

Alexa @ Alexa Loves Books who I'm proud to call my friend! She's such a sweet and generous person and I love talking to her and reading her blog! We share a love of sparkly shirts and food :)

Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl and also fellow Broke and Bookish blogger, holla! She's such a sweetheart and I still think we should either move Holland closer to the US or have her and Alexa come to Paris so we can all meet up! :)

Kelly A., another fellow Broke and Bookish blogger. We're both addicted to A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin and I love that we can geek out together over things such as screenshots for the second season of the TV show :)

Sarah @ Sarah Says Read, a wonderful blogger who knows what she's talking about and isn't afraid to be critical about what she reads. I totally trust her verdict on the books she's read and I love reading her Sarah Sunday posts!

And I also wanted to give a shout out to a relatively new blogger: Bianca @ The Brown Eyed Bookie, she's lovely and you should all go follow her blog!

If I had the time I would list every blogger I know and love, but as I'm kind of running late already, I'll keep it short and just tell everyone who's reading this:
I am so thankful for you and even if I didn't mention you by name, know that I adore every one of you! <3

EDIT: I was mortified when I was just getting my pizza out of the oven (yes, my mind does indeed make interesting connections) and realised I'd forgotten to include Alex @ A Girl, Books and Other Things!! She's been nothing but wonderful since I met her and I love that we share a passion for TV shows such as Gossip Girl and America's Next Top Model! :)
