If we keep growing like this then we are going to have to find a new place to host our Utah book blogger socials. We were literally busting through the seams this past Saturday as more than 60 book bloggers, writers and published authors gathered for a fun time.
I was thinking about how much we have grown in the past two years. Here is a photo from the first social that I hosted in my home:
Five of the people were supportive spouses! We have now grown so large that even the thought of posing for a photo with everybody in it . . . well, it simply can’t be done. I believe this social was our fifth one. Wow – time flies when you are having fun!
I am completely overwhelmed with the thought of captioning and naming everybody in all of the following photos, so please forgive me. As you can see, a great time was had by all. And surprisingly, the part where everybody stood up one by one and introduced themselves was the best part! Some people are just too funny!
Although not everybody on the following list was able to make it (we hope you at the next one – which will be in August!), here is a blogroll for you of all the fantastic book bloggers here in Utah! You may discover all of your favorite Utah Book Bloggers by subscribing to the shared RSS feed, following the Utah Book Community Twitter list, or if you are a book blogger, join our ning group.

We had several published authors in our midst, and want to send a shout out to Rick Walton, Bree Despain, Lisa Mangum, Matthew Kirby, Emily Wing Smith, Jaleta Cleggo and Cory Poulson, And oh my goodness, I’m sure I’m forgetting somebody!! We had a myriad of aspiring authors as well, which was just fantastic! I can’t wait to see them published! You will have to forgive me for not naming everybody (but do check out the other posts below – they do a much better job than I).
I think it’s funny because every time Suey from It’s All About Books (@sueysays), Becky at One Literature Nut (@mjmbecky) and I host this event it’s almost as if we have a whole different crowd each time. Can you imagine if we actually got everybody together at the same time. Craziness would ensue! Wait. Craziness already ensues!
And the best part about typing up this post a few days after the event, is that I can link over to others posts, who are much more entertaining than me. Particularly 手机网络加速器 and Douglas Cootey. That is why they are writers and not me. Although Suey is highly entertaining as well. Other reports: 免费外网加速器app, Shanda at LDS Women’s Book Review, Becky from One Literature Nut, Penelope from The Reading Fever. If you’ve written a post, let me know and I’ll add it in.
I think you’ll agree when I say that our literacy community here ROCKS!!! And watch this space for a fun announcement which will highlight our local authors!
P.S. Do let me know if there is a correction or addition to the above blogroll.
