Aw, that makes me so happy! I adored Ari and Dante and I think it’s wonderful that you not only made sure someone else read the book, but went above and beyond and bought a second copy of the book to do so. Wonderful!

Great tweet! I try to promote authors I love, but often forget to send them personal notes letting them know what their books mean to me.

That’s so cool! I love when blogging leads to me actually interacting with the authors I love

Not a problem! I’ll probably just be looking for the #showauthorlove hashtag, unless it seems to be being used by people outside Bout of Books. I’ve heard such great things about Pastrix from both you and April, I’ll definitely be looking to read it too

Wow Jorie, thanks for jumping into this so enthusiastically! I would love if people continue using the hashtag after today and to give credit where credit is due I should mention that the Bout of Books hosts came up with the hashtag. I love the idea of being on an author’s street team and just being really excited about doing everything you can to promote one particular author. That’s wonderful!

It’s wonderful that you’ve loved The Historian for so long. I’ve found that most of my childhood favorites don’t hold the same impact for me today, but I think I should revisit more of them. I’m glad you enjoyed the challenge!

Great post! I’ve been making a point of following authors lately, but I definitely need to go through my archives and make sure I’m following all the authors I love. I also try to highlight poorly known authors by giving away their books for blogiversary giveaways and I love your idea of doing posts featuring your favorite authors.
