Here’s what we’ve been up to this week:

Can I just get a pass on last week? Yeah, recovering from surgery is no fun. Thankfully last week I had my mom to help with the kiddos and I’m finally starting to feel like my old self again. Yay! So, watch out blog readers! I’m coming back this week with reviews and comments like you won’t believe…I think.

Oh! And if you missed the Turkeybird’s vlog debut make sure you go back and check it out! It’s fantastic, if I do say so myself.

This week has been…well, long would be the best adjective to describe it. On Friday I had surgery and most of the rest of the week I spent worrying about actually having the surgery. Thankfully everything went well and I’m recovering pretty good as well. So, lets hope this week brings some more excitement and less worrying, right?!

Today A Bit of Me(Me) is back at There’s A Book! Yay! I’m a little late getting the post up because I had surgery yesterday. If I was on top of things I would have scheduled it in advance, but here I am typing away. LOL

So, last week Kellee at Teach Mentor Texts came up with the question for this week and I think it’s fabulous! Take a look:

What childhood toy, blanket, stuffed animal, etc. do you still have and cherish?

For me, this is an easy one. It’s a toy I just couldn’t go anywhere without and it’s still in with all of my childhood favorites. It’s my very own Kermit the Frog doll:

As a child I loved playing with Kermie, as I called him, and I watched every show or movie where he was involved. My two favorites being The Muppet Movie and A Muppet Christmas Carol. It’s been fun to pass these along to my kiddos now and see how much they enjoy them. I love it!

So what about you? Do you have a favorite from your childhood?

Next week’s A Bit of Me(Me) will be hosted back at Teach Mentor Texts with Jen, so don’t forget to swing by there next time to link-up! And here is next weeks question as well as this week’s link-up:
Have you met or worked with any famous people? Who? Where? When?

So much! This was a crazy and fun week. With Book Blogger Appreciation Week and a writing conference, I’m surprised my immune system thought I could handle getting sick on top of all of that as well. But it did. Thankfully, I was well enough for the conference and had my posts pre-scheduled for the majority of BBAW. To say it was an exciting week is an understatement. Not only was BBAW fantastic, but my writing conference included a favorite author of mine, Jonathan Maberry, as well as the incredible literary agent, Laurie McLean (think Julie Kagawa). I’ll be writing in full about it in the coming days, but lets just say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had since book blogging.

So, I feel like last week was insane!!! But still, I only posted three reviews total on both sites I write for. Does that ever happen to you guys? I had a million posts, but mostly discussions, interviews and my first ever vlog! I was incredibly stressed for that, but I think it turned out great!

Also, on another fantastic note! Last week began the wonderful treasure hunt for Beth Kephart’s You Are My Only. It’s a collaboration with Beth and a few other fantastic book bloggers to spread the word of her fantastic new YA coming out in October. Be sure to check it out as we’ve got a huge amount of prizes including a writing critique by Beth for those writers out there!

It’s Book Blogger Appreciation Week as well! Are you participating?!

Happy Labor Day weekend everyone! I hope everyone is either a) enjoying a long or b) making a whole lot of money for working on a holiday! Either way I hope you are at least getting in some great reading!

On another note…I’m completely freaking out! I’m not sure if you’ve all heard about this new blogging project I’m a part of (yes, I needed another project), InterrobangYA. It’s a daily vlogging channel with a few other fantastic YA book bloggers. Each of us will share a vlog once a week and my day comes up on Sunday! So, what I’m freaking out about…I have zero idea what to vlog about. For some reason or another I’m a total blank. So, any ideas would be welcome, even questions you may have for me would be great! I’ve posted the trailer at the bottom of the post, take a look and let me know what you think.

Now, on to the reading for the week!
