Mundie Moms 6th Birthday Bash Celebration!



It's our 6th Mundie Moms Birthday Bash! I can't believe Mundie Moms turned six on Valentine's Day. What an incredible six years it has been. I honestly have no idea where the past six years has gone. There have been so many amazing experiences had, a lot new friends have been made, countless books have been read, and so much fun has been had. THANK YOU to each of you who have made the past six years so memorable. Without you, Mundie Moms wouldn't be what it is today. 

THANK YOU to all of you! Thank you to those who follow us, and to those who have followed Mundie Moms from the beginning. Thank you to those who have recently discovered Mundie Moms. Thank you for all your comments (though blogger deletes half my comments I reply back to), I enjoy reading your comments, and visiting your blogs. I love the connections I've made with so many of you via the blog, as well as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr. I have loved meeting many of you at book signings, book conventions like ALA, BEA, TLA, and various other book festivals. You make all the time I put into being a book promoter worth it, because of your support and friendships. 

The most rewarding part of running a book blog is hearing readers say that they picked up a book because they read one of my reviews, or saw a book I featured here on Mundie Moms. THANK YOU! You will never know how much that means. That is the reason I do what I do, and I can't thank you enough to taking time out of your busy schedules to visit my blog, let alone read my posts. I will forever be grateful to be able to do what I do. I love the connections that books have brought into my life. 

THANK YOU to the authors who's books have changed our lives, have brought friends into our lives, and continue to move us with your words. Thank you to the authors who have become more than just an author, you've become friends, and confidants. Most importantly, thank you for what you do. You make all the time I put into being a book promoter worth it, because of the things you write. Thank you for your support through out the past six years. 

THANK YOU to the publicists and publishers who continue to make book promoting possible! It's been such a wonderful experience working with many of you over the past six years. Thank you for continued support, friendships, and for spoiling us with so many wonderful reads. Thank you for fueling our book additions. haha


It's not a birthday party without some treats. Since we can't personally give each of you cupcakes, we can give away some books!! Let's be honest, books are better than cupcakes... unless of course you're eating a cupcake while reading a book. That could get a little messy, so maybe we'll just stick to reading a book about cupcakes. Or how about looking at pictures of cupcakes with books on them. 


Yes, I'll definitely take one of those or one of these


Don't these look good? They look to good to even eat. Okay, now that I've given you cupcakes and a cake, enjoy these books.... (image source for book pictures found via Pinterest).
