6th Blogoversary Header

Welcome to my Sixth Blogoversay Giveaway!

Today, June 11th is my Blogoversary. In celebration of this 6th year, I have the giveaway below and C.L. Gaber is being featured this month. Be sure to check out her interview and giveaway HERE.

This blog has found numerous hours of happiness for me. I have discovered many authors that I wouldn’t have had a chance to read or find before starting Baroness’ Book Trove. The authors and publishers have been extremely hospitable and generous. Getting the mail is a joy.

I also work with some really first-class book tour companies. They introduce me to some of the greatest books. If you are interested in checking them out they are on the right sidebar.

I am a reader at heart and with the help of my mom, I am able to maintain what I hope you agree is a professional and informative book blog. However, I read books that sound good and try to broaden my horizon so to speak. 

What kind of books are you planning to read over the summer? I have so many that I am looking forward to. Hopefully, you do too.
