Bloggers of the Month: June

Readers, this month we had so many contributions to our blog that it was near impossible to decide who to award ‘Blogger of the Month’ to. In the end we have decided to share the title between two very deserving reviewers who have, not only contributed a considerable number of blogs over time, but have been very active this month.

Our first blogger is: Olive, the Jack Russell 

 Olive can be recognised for the following reviews this month:

New Moon: The Twilight Series – Stephanie Meyer

Twilight: The Twilight Series – Stephanie Meyer

Eclipse: The Twilight Series – Stephanie Meyer

Girl Online – Zoe Sugg

Divergent – Veronica Roth

 

Our second hound up for a ‘bark-out’ is Zak. Zak is a bit shier than Olive and has chosen to stay anonymous (for now), however he has contributed an impressive number of reviews which include the following:

Super Fudge – Judy Blume

Nicholas Again – Rene Goscinny

A Fabumouse School Adventure – Geronimo Stilton

Tom Gates – L.Pinchon

The Boy in the Dress – David Walliams

I totally Funniest – James Patterson

Weirdo 4 – Anh Do

Middle School (The Worst Years of my Life) – James Patterson

Hopefully Zak will change his mind and send us in a photo so that he gets recognised and perhaps gets a few ‘high-fives’ around the neighbourhood!

Keep it up readers! We’ll start looking for our July Blogger soon!

Milestone: 5000+ views

Readers, it’s time to CELEBRATE!

We have reached over 5000 views on our blog (5063 to be exact!)

As promised, Aspen has agreed to make a classroom visit early next term to celebrate this achievement! Hopefully by then we’ll be close to 6000.

I wonder how long it will take us to reach 10000?
