It’s a tough decision, but this week’s linky party will be my last. I’ve been hosting the Spread the Love Linky Party for 17 weeks, and it has been a huge success! I am shocked and awed at the number of brand new bloggers I have found through the party, and that have stopped by to link up and say hello.
Thank you to everyone who has linked up, and I hope to continue to connect with you through the blogs!
The most clicked-on link by far was Andi @ Estella’s Revenge’s amazing post on 15 Topics for Your Blogging Blues. Andi’s a blogging pro, having been blogging for longer than most, and her tips are always so valuable. This post is no different.
This past week I went to ALAMW14, which is a library conference. It was held in Philadelphia and it was a blast! Katie from Doing Dewey joined me, and we walked away with a ton of books. . . and some aching shoulders from carrying those books! Check out my post for the full information!
Now it’s your turn to show off your most amazing post!
Guidelines
- Link up your greatest book review, bookish post, DIY, tutorial, craft project, fashion amazingness, green post, whatever is fabulous this week or before that is yours!
- Spread even more love – Click on the link right before yours and say something nice! It’s a great way to learn about a new blog and an amazing post that someone worked so hard on! We all love nice comments on our own blogs, so take a minute to spread the love.
- By linking up, you are granting the party hosts permission to promote you and an image from your site in a featured post or on social media. Meaning, if I or anyone else thinks your post is as amazing as you think it is, we might just promote it! Which I can only see as a positive, don’t you agree?

The book event sounds so much fun. But you really need to get a book dolly suitcase thinger. Rose has one and it is really cool. It is a little dolly with a box attached to it so she can pull her books around instead of carrying them. We did that for an author event and it was so helpful.
