TC&TBC – 2010 in review

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

Crunchy numbers

New Year, New Theme, New Books!

I was getting kind of bored with the old theme and it looked a little too Christmasy to carry us through the winter so I’ll give this one a whirl.  Feel free to let me know what you think of it.

I’ve got some children’s books in my TBR pile that I’ll be reviewing in the not so distant future, and hopefully, after I get done with these two major editing projects I’m working on I’ll have some time to add a few new features to this blog.  Drop me a line anytime to let me know what you would be interested in seeing at TC&TBC.

If you’re an author or publicist looking for a review or guest spot, please feel free to email me at cg20pm00(at)gmail(dot)com, replacing the “at” and “dot” with the appropriate symbols.  Right now my TBR pile between this blog and The Book Connection stands at around 40 books–just finished two this weekend–so I’m tight for time with this, coordinating virtual book tours with Pump Up Your Book Promotion and editing work, but I love children’s books and I want to keep building up this blog like I did with The Book Connection.

Here’s to more great books in 2010!

Welcome to The Children’s and Teens’ Book Connection

Welcome to The Children’s and Teen’s Book Connection, or as I usually call it TC&TBC!

A branch of my popular blog, The Book Connection, this blog began in July 2009 and is dedicated to the children’s and teen books I read. You’ll find reviews, author interviews, and guest bloggers at TC&TBC, and who knows what else the future will bring.

TC&TBC is currently looking for titles to review. Please contact Cheryl at cg20pm00(at)gmail(dot)com, replacing the “at” and”dot” with the appropriate symbols.

Have fun browsing around!
