"Even before Personal Demons sold back in December, I’d heard of Kristi’s blog. She’s kind of the queen of YA book blogging, so when I saw she’d added Personal Demons to her 2010 Debut Authors Challenge list, I felt like I’d made the big time! When she asked if I’d be interested in doing a
September interview on her blog, I squeed (Seriously!) then totally sweated out
her review. I even squeed again when she listed the sequel to Personal Demons, Original Sin, in her
Books to Pine For post this week. Whether she knows it or not, Kristi is a rock star and I want to thank her for all her support"--Lisa Desrochers, Author of
Personal Demons
*Giveaway*
Lisa Desrochers has been generous enough to donate one (1) copy of Personal Demons in honor of Kristi's 3 year blogoversary and the Story Siren Appreciation Week. Thank you so much Lisa!

I was fascinated by Kriti's review of the Hunger Games that's why I read it. She's the one actually who introduced me to the book.

Thank you so much for the contest! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool to see how many people have been affected by Kristi's efforts, myself included (which I conveyed in one of the earlier posts' comments).

ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to pick just one because Kristi has shed light on so many for me! I guess the two that stand out the most is Speak and Beautiful Creatures.

I remember noticing BEFORE I FALL on Kristi's blog. I don't like to read reviews before I read the book, however I just knew that I needed to get that book. And I did. I now follow Kristi's blog and have for months. I also join in on her IMM every week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for everything Kristi!

Although I do not know Kristi personally myself, I can say that her blog has helped me tremendously in my own blog. I frequently visited her blog for help in the beginning and now I go just to see what she has to say next. Thank you for everything you do for the blogging community, Kristi!
ReplyDeleteOne of the most recent books I read because of Krist is Forget You by Jennifer Echols. I was not disappointed. :-)

I've read a bunch of books on Kristi's recommendation, but one that stands out is Hex Hall. Her review was funny and, I agree, I want to be a witch too :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing this question didn't say "Which books have you added to your TBR because of Kristi" because that answer would be a mile long.

The list of books I've got from Kristi is expansive because I give her credit for the majority of books on 2011DAC list. If it wasn't for her hosting this reading challenge, I would not have been introduced to many of these books!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 3 years!
