The Best Reader + wrap up

End of Summer Reading (Summer 2009 Edition)

This is my last Summer post — today I head back to school (literally, as you are reading this I am on my way back to the middle of nowhere, South Dakota). I have got a lot accomplished this summer — seeing as how a couple of months ago I was barely reading a book a month and this blog didn't exist.

Since June, I have read and reviewed 23 books. And I have hosted NINE Guest Reviews that are posted as of right now. But I have scheduled Guest Review posts every Wednesday until Sept 30th — so really, that's SEVENTEEN Guest Reviews. I'd like to give a big thanks to the following people who made time out of their crazy schedules to be a Guest Reviewer — you have no idea what it means to me. Thank You!

I'm forever going to be looking for Guest Reviewers — if you are interested please check out this post. If you'd like to learn more about my mission — look at my blog.

I have received the following awards: I Rock Award, Let's Be Friends Award, The Lemonade Award, and the Kreativ Blogger Award. Thank you for all of these great awards!

I have hosted the following Giveaways: "My Name is Will", "Boy Toy", "Dancing With Ana", "Benny and Shrimp", and "A Vengeful Spirit".

I have interviewed these authors: Preetham Grandhi, Lizzy Armentrout, Nicole Barker

I have won these books: "The Imposter's Daughter", "Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict", and "A Duty to the Dead", "The Darcy’s & the Bingleys", "The Plight of the Darcy Brothers"

I have acquired 24 followers. Thank you — it means the world to me!

I have joined Twitter (@google), Goodreads, Book Blogs.

While you probably won't see as many reviews or posts from me this fall, I am determined and I am dedicated (you can quote me if you want) to finish at least two books a week (exception is Finals Week).

I have about a year to build up as many reviews as possible before my students see my collection. But very soon (could be as soon as December!) employers will be stopping by to see all the reviews I have collected and they will discover my mission. I can't wait to begin my senior year so that I can soon begin the rest of my life. It's indescribable and I'm not doing it justice. I am so ready to share my love of literature with others and make a difference. Again, thank you so much to the Guest Reviewers who have sent in reviews — this wouldn't be possible without you. (Well, it might be — but all the reviews would be of books I like and am interested in.) If you're interested to adding your name and blog to the list — please let me know at missremmeres[at]gmail[dot]com and check out this post.
