September in Review
Hi everyone! Can you believe that it is October already? I can’t believe it! It has been a pretty busy month for both Melissa and myself. But it was absolutely fantastic (for me!). I was lucky enough to see Laini Taylor twice during her Australian tour, and I was also fortunate enough to interview her for the Australian YA Bloggers group. I will provide the link further down for the interview.
Oh, and Book Nerd Reviews also had a makeover thanks to the wonderful Hazel at Stay Bookish :) Did you notice? Well, whether you did or not, if you are an Aussie you should enter our giveaway to celebrate (link below). This giveaway was made possible by the amazing team at Bookworld, as they noticed the new design and wanted to help us celebrate.
I hope you all had a fantastic month as well. Here is what happened at Book Nerd Reviews during September:
