Making Connections - YA Edition


ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONIt all started with an idea. Why not make a place where authors, bloggers, publishers, and reviewers can get together in one place?

December 2012 marked the one-year anniversary of the Making Connections group. Since then, they have grown beyond our imagination. Not only have they listed almost 850 books in the original Making Connections group for review, they have also branched off and made a Young Adult group with 200 books listed for review.

Come celebrate...
