#R3COMM3ND3D2017 with #BookBlogger Jo Robertson (@jocatrobertson) #MyChestnutReadingTree

If you're looking for a reason to start your own book blog, well...I could give you several.  But the top of that list would be the incredible friendships you make with likeminded bookish folk.  I count myself incredibly lucky in that respect as I have made many lifelong friends and one very special #blogbestie.  Jo … Continue reading #R3COMM3ND3D2017 with #BookBlogger Jo Robertson (@jocatrobertson) #MyChestnutReadingTree

#R3COMM3ND3D2017 with #BookBlogger Kate Noble (@TheQuietKnitter) #TheQuietKnitter

When I started damppebbles in January 2016 the one thing I didn't expect was to make some incredibly good friends.  I wasn't aware of the community of like-minded individuals whose love of books holds friendships strong like glue.  From blogging, I have made some very dear friends but there are two ladies I can always count … Continue reading #R3COMM3ND3D2017 with #BookBlogger Kate Noble (@TheQuietKnitter) #TheQuietKnitter

**WordPress seems to be testing me at the moment, seeing if it can catch me out.  I don't think Sarah's #R3COMM3ND3D2017 posted properly first thing this morning.  I've tried to republish it but it's still playing silly monkeys and not appearing where it should!  As a result, I have decided to copy and paste the … Continue reading #R3COMM3ND3D2017 with #BookBlogger Sarah Hardy (@sarahhardy681) #ByTheLetterBookReviews
