I know the posts were long. Much longer than the should be for a blogging challenge. But I wanted my blog to be a permanent resource for people interested in these - often hard to find and hard to read - epics. So I trusted my audience. And a lot of you stopped by and commented, which made me very happy! I will definitely do the road trip this year, because I did not get to visit nearly as much as I wanted to.
I would like to highlight some blogs that participated this year and whose themes I especially enjoyed:
Black and White by Anne E. G. Nydam - Over the course of April I bought and read the book she wrote, and I absolutely adored it! It is a collection of short stories and poetry that center on hope. It was cozy, and perfect for my soul. If you want some snippets, you can read her A to Z posts!
A year with trees - A blog and a podcast about trees. Obviously, the A to Z theme was also trees, all kinds of trees I have never heard about. It was a lovely series to follow.
Nonfiction picture books by Christina Dankert - This one was an amazing A to Z full of picture book recommendations on nonfiction topics - biographies and other interesting things. My TBR grew by a mile, and as a parent, I especially appreciated it.
A logophile's ludic musings by Deborah Weber - I always like Deborah's A to Z themes; she was an amazing way with words, and associations that always teach me something new and beautiful.
Story Crossroads - A blog about storytelling, and a returning A to Z participant with another amazing folklore and mythology theme. This time, it was all stories about cheating (or trying to cheat) death. Amazing resource.
Madly-in-Verse - Nilanjana's blog is always a delight. This year, the A to Z theme was Indian textiles, embroidery and weaving. It was a fascinating dive into a vast and colorful topic I knew little about.
There were several other blogs that I came across but didn't have time to consistently follow, or visit back. But hey, that's what the Road Trip is for! See you all there!

You're right, the posts are long for a bloghop challenge but they are, as you intended, a wonderful resource for those interested - stupendous achievement...
ReplyDeleteI find your blog a great resource :-)

Like I said to you at some point, you really know what you're talking about. It's kind of like drinking from a fire hose. Still, I enjoyed your entries a lot.
ReplyDeleteYour posts and topics are always fascinating!
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those who actually like reading long posts, that does mean a trade off during the challenge month itself between what I'd like to do and what I must, but the good thing is one can always catch up later on.
Thank you so much for the shout out.
Your choice of theme this year is one of my favorites to date. You have indeed created a rich resource. What a lots of reading and research was involved in each entry! And you shared the books and other sources with us along the way. I followed your blog throughout the month, but since I hadn't written any of my posts in advance, I wasn't able to read and comment on all of yours. Hoping to catch up during the road trip.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I don’t think they were too long. Although I would happily read all of it in book form.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Such a great theme. It's been ages since I participated in an A-Z challenge but I remember loving it. Maybe I'll join in again next year. =)
