My Basically Amazing Book Blog- Guest Bloggers Wanted!!

[Ashley]

So, I just started a book blog. My sister finally convinced me to join the world of bloggers.

The url is http://basicallyamazing.blogspot.com/
and the title of my blog is Books from Bleh to Basically Amazing. I have my own rating scale using terms and phrases that seem to be a regular part of my book-speak, and I thought a blog would be a great place for it.

It's brand new, so there isn't much to it yet, but I would love feedback from people- areas for improvement, ideas for additions, or just plain comments and thoughts.

Thanks everyone!

Wow....what a great idea. I might borrow the idea as inspiration for my grandkids. Isn't reading fun!

[Ashley]

I love to read Karen! A blog for your grandkids would probably be a lot of fun! It's a little bit addicting! :)

So- For the last few months, every Monday I've been posting a meme (ish) post I call Memory Monday. Every Monday, I write a post about a book I remember reading from childhood that has a particular memory associated with it. I've been having a lot of fun with it, and decided that I wanted to hear from other people too!

So, I would LOVE to have any and all of you lovely TNBBCers share your bookish memories with me and my readers!

I'm really flexible, so it can be about anything as long as it's a book or story or author or someone reading to you etc and the memory that goes with it.

If you do want to post something with me on my blog, you can contact me in whichever way is most convenient to you, and we can work out the details!

You can email me (basicallyamazingbooks [at] gmail.com), you can send me a message right here on GR, or you can go to the blog post asking for guest bloggers and fill out the little google docs form I included. (Follow the link right here!)

I'd so love to hear from you! I'm excited to see what memories you have of reading!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Ashley, that is a really cool idea. I hope some of the TNBBCers take you up on that offer :)

[Ashley]

Thanks Lori! You're more than welcome to take me up on it too! :)
