Blog Tour Review - Perception Check by Astrid Knight

 Blog Tour Review - Perception Check by Astrid Knight Her favorite tabletop roleplaying game is real, and her kidnapped childhood best friend is trapped in a far off land. Will she be able to save her? Let's roll initiative! Violet Spence wants nothing more than to have a normal life. After witnessing her childhood best friend get abducted by monsters, that’s easier said than done. At twenty-three years old, Violet cannot seem to move past that fateful night ten years ago. Her only solace is Mages of Velmyra, a tabletop roleplaying game filled with goblins, fairies, and all-powerful magicians. But of course, that’s all fantasy. Or, so she thought. As it turns out, the land of Velmyra is very real and the home of the monsters that took her best friend. With the help of her friends (and the creator of the game itself), Violet must navigate the once-fictional creatures and powerful mages of Velmyra to retrieve a set of ancient relics—all in the hopes that the journey will lead her bac

The Seventh Day of Blogmas - Blogger Recognition Award

Good evening,
I got tagged with this by Jennie from jenniely.com, via Twitter. I love tags! I really do. Mainly because I feel like I'm happiest writing within some kind of organised structure. It's lovely to get tagged on things like this when my blog has only been going a week. The book blogger community, especially those I've met on Twitter, have been so lovely and welcoming and supportive. I'm sure there is drama, but it's happening way over there somewhere, out of my sight! So I'm starting with a big thank you to Jennie, and check out her blog

How my blog started

Hmm, let's see if I can remember. It's been so long now.
A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing around other people's blogs, and I saw all this fabulous content and interesting reviews and yeah, tags. And I thought to myself I'd like to do that. Twitter is fine, but you can only really say so much there. Maybe I need a blog.
At the time I was in the middle of NaNoWriMo, so the sensible part of my brain decided that it would be sensible to wait until NaNoWriMo had finished, and to start a blog in December. The other part of my brain decided that in that case I should start by doing this Blogmas thing everyone was talking about, and do a post a day in the 24 days leading up to Christmas. Of course, I listened to both parts, and here I am.
I've pretty much dived into the deep end here. In the new year I'm planning on developing a better theme for this place, with my own headers and some distinctive content. I already have one participatory challenge in mind, that I'll be looking for volunteers for. 

Advice for New Bloggers


  1. Just go for it. If you feel like you've got something to say, say it. Find your voice.
  2. Look at what other people are doing, talk to them, get advice and support (and hopefully they'll help to promote your content) but don't be intimidated by blogs that have been running for a long time. If you stick with it, and put the work in, you can get there too!
So Jennie already tagged a lot of the bloggers I know, and there's no way I can come up with fifteen! But I'm going to tag:
