And that's it! I hope you've all enjoyed November's themed month. I know I certainly enjoyed it. It's been really fun talking about and reading books by British authors. And even though November is finished, I will continue to support and celebrate my favourite homegrown authors, you can be sure of that!
Here's a look at all the posts which went up... Thank you all for your support, comments, retweets, posts about the month. A huge thank you also to my absolutely wonderful and lovely guest posters and guest reviewers, I really don't know how I could have managed the month without you! Thank you so much for writing such brilliant and thoughtful posts!

What do you think? Should I make this an annual event?
I've LOVED this theme month, Clover! Thanks so much for my lovely review - and for posting this big list so I can catch up with the bits I missed.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, do it again next year! (*coughs* Yeah yeah, I know I'm biased - but speaking as a reader too, it's brilliant to see the spotlight shine on homegrown books too.)
You should definitely do this again next year because it's brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI am sad to see this month come to an end....so please do it next year! Like Susie said, thanks for wrapping it up so I can catch up on the brill posts I have missed :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely an annual event, please!
ReplyDeleteI loved this theme, you always organise the best months! :)
ReplyDeleteSusie - Thank you so much for your comment :) I think I will do it again, because you're so right, there just isn't enough of a spotlight on British authors at the moment. So many people did comment on some of the reviews saying they had never heard of the book or the author, and that makes me feel sad!
ReplyDeleteKulsuma - I will, then! Thanks!
Zoe - You're very welcome! And I shall think of the best month to do it apart from November, which wasn't great for me. will have a think...
Deniz - Sure thing. I just need to do it in a month that's not November.
Raimy - Thank you so much for saying so :)
I loved this month! Please do it again some time! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you very, very much for including me.
Luisa - It wouldn't be the same without you! I'll focusing on Love month for a little while now and then will consider the best time for another British month!
