Happy Independence Day! (And a giveaway)


I'm going to be taking a nice long vacation for the Independence Day weekend. I'll be back on Tuesday, but in the meantime, I've got some posts that you definitely need to check out. If you are here from the hop at Crazy for Books, welcome! I promise I will return your visits when I get back from vacation.

Tell us your NAME and WHY YOU STARTED BLOGGING
My name is Emily, and I started blogging to keep track of all the books I read. And then... well I got involved in the blogging community and here I am! You can read more about me and my blog on my About Me page.

Gail Carson Levine Interview (Video): This is a must-see for readers and aspiring authors alike. This was probably my favorite post so far.

Contests:
 And... the LAST blogiversary contest. I'm extending all the giveaway listed above until July 6 because I just won't have time to draw names while I'm on vacation!
