12 Years of Blogging

July 5, 2021July 3, 2021 ~ Brona's Books ~ 67 Comments

Last month Kaggsy celebrated her 9th blogaversary by actually remembering it! I made some smart comment about always forgetting my blogaversary. But then I decided, NO! Blogs have this marvellous, amazing technology that allows one to schedule posts. Why not use it to make sure I actually remember to celebrate my own blogging anniversary on … Continue reading 12 Years of Blogging

11th Blogaversary

July 18, 2020June 9, 2021 ~ Brona's Books ~ 15 Comments

I've done it again! I've let the 5th July come and go, forgetting yet another blogaversary. I may have turned missing my blogaversary into an art form. Thirteen days ago was the 11th anniversary of my very first blog post. That's, 11 years, 132 months, 573 weeks. 4015 days, and 96369 hours. In that time … Continue reading 11th Blogaversary

Stories & Shout Outs #25

July 10, 2019June 30, 2021 ~ Brona's Books ~ 7 Comments

Some days the word won't flow. I have several posts half-written, but over the past few days I haven't been able to find the inspiration or energy to complete any of them. I guess a big weekend away, is enough to throw my routine these days. So it's time for a housekeeping post to clear … Continue reading Stories & Shout Outs #25

CCList #1 Done & Dusted

July 18, 2018June 9, 2021 ~ Brona's Books ~ 20 Comments

Life continues it's crazy shenanigans, so much so that I've only just realised that I forgot to celebrate two major blogging milestones. Two weeks ago was my 9th blogging anniversary! I shouldn't forget this anniversary every year as it shares the date with B21's birthday. But, somehow, this year, 21 took precedence over 9! I'm … Continue reading CCList #1 Done & Dusted

5 Years of Blogging

July 4, 2014June 9, 2021 ~ Brona's Books ~ 25 Comments

On the 5th July 2009, with very little idea about what I was doing or what I was letting myself in for, I wrote my first review on Brona's Books. The book was Gone by Michael Grant and reflected that this blog started life as a review vehicle for teachers and parents about children's books. … Continue reading 5 Years of Blogging
