Hello again, and happy last day of Five Fall Favorites! Can you believe the party is almost over? I hope you found new books, new friends, and a delightful celebration of this new season!
Thank you all for coming! And thank you to the bloggers who have put in so much work to share their love of books. This party wouldn’t be the way it is without you all. ❤
Before you go find out our top books of the year (so far!), just a couple housekeeping things…
- The winner of the grand prize giveaway is… Marion!! Congratulations! I’ve contacted you and will get your lovely presents to you soon.
- Our favorite Katja has put together a list of all the books recommended during the party. Be sure to check it out when you visit her blog. 😉
And now, onward!
E. G. Bella // Rebekah // Katja // Lillian (and Amy)
Sarah // Jana // Rhys-Marie // Hannah
Sophia // Rosy // Rose // Riley
Ryana Lynn // Faith // Bethany // Bethany G.
Since I’m running out of words (introvert problems), I decided to challenge myself to describe them in five words each. 😉

Heh, heh, thanksss. I get a little tired every year so I thought I would make the last post less wordy. 😉

I think some of mine were already sort of on my list, and some might get taken off after I look at them, but still!
