Reading has influenced my style for as long as I can remember. I can even trace my love of pattern mixing back to The Baby-sitters Club! So, when Maricel at My Closet Catalogue asked me to co-host a reading and style related link-up, I was excited (not to mention, completely flattered)!
The link-up lasted for almost 2 years before we both decided to move on to other ventures. All of my posts are listed below:

Perfection! Can you do me a fave and add “by Ally Carter” after “Gallagher Girls series” so people who are interested can look them up? Thank you!

Done! You’re right, an author’s name is ALWAYS helpful. 🙂

I did have a plan and at least a partial outfit planned to link up…obviously I failed. But the idea is still in my head and I’m going to have it ready for next month. Striving to be a faithful blogging friend! 🙂

No problem, Carrie! The link up is open for a week, so you’ve got time. Or, just save it for next month – no pressure at all. 🙂

Alex mentioned our being a year old and I didn’t think it’d been that long but I guess it has! I’ve known you for a year now! It just seems like yesterday! 😀 ❤

T3 will be a year old next month (should we do something special?), but we’ve known each other for almost 2 years. I clicked over to your blog because of a comment you left on PMT, and I found this post:

Tee hee! We were so fangirly even then! And yes, perhaps we should do something special since February was a freebie month anyway? Any thoughts? I’d hate to do the traditional giveaway because that usually encourages people to join just to get a prize, but perhaps if the prize was a book? My favorite and yours? To a random winner? Or do we host a contest and judge? What do you think?

I kind of hate giveaways. I was just thinking of choosing a book that you’ve used for T3 and doing my own interpretation of it.

Huh. That’s intriguing. Do we have to actually read the book? ;p LOL. I sound like one of my students.

Haha, I picked one that I’ve actually read, yes. Of mine, I know you’ve read Mockingjay and Abhorsen. Or you could do my childhood favorite, since it’s a picture book. 😛
