This past September, The Book Wheel hosted an amazing event called #30Authors, where 30 authors reviewed their favorite recent read on 30 different blogs over the course of 30 days. The event was a huge success and and I am so thrilled to see that several books recommended during the event have made it to the finals in the Goodreads Choice Awards. I’m especially excited to celebrate the success of Celeste Ng’s novel, Everything I Never Told You (read my review here). Celeste is the only author who was both recommended and a contributor the the event. I could be biased, but it looks like #30Authors knew what it was doing, right?
