Happy Birthday to meeeeee!

By the time you’re reading this, I’ll be in LA celebrating my birthday week with a whole bunch of my west coast buds. Technically, I hit the big 2-8 on October 17th, but I took off a bit early.

I’ve been to LA once before, though it was for a conference, so I most of the 56 hours I was there was spent indoors. And in a place with as perfect weather as LA has, that’s just criminal. This time, I’m determined to have all kinds of literary adventures. I can’t wait to share the photos with you and add another city to my Literary Tourism series.

Speaking of which, I share all kinds of things––bookish and otherwise––in places other than this blog and I’d hate for you to miss out!

So for my birthday, I’d love it if you did me a super simple and easy favor: follow me on social.

Trust me, there’ll be lots of fun in it for you too.

• Join the Off the Beaten Shelf community on Facebook.

• Like the OTBS Facebook page.

• Follow me on Instagram. (More like #bookstagram.)

• Follow me on Twitter.

• Subscribe to the OTBS newsletter so you don’t miss a post. (There’s a pdf of tips to slay your reading goals in it for you too!)

And if you really, really want to be a hero, tell me in the comments what you want to see on this blog. What do you like and not like? What do you want me to cover? I’d love to hear from you.

Although my blog’s birthday is technically in August, I somehow forget to celebrate it every year, so in a way this is my birthday celebration and my blogiversary too. I’m 28 and my blog is 4. Thanks for nerding out with me. I appreciate it more than you know.

xoxo
