I am not sure how long I’ve been following Lauren over at Shooting Stars Mag, but when she came up with the idea of making an extra long celebration of her 12th Blogoversary, I wanted to be a part of it! I thought it would be fun to have Lauren do a Top 10 post for me. Her idea was a fun one, hope you enjoy it!

Lauren has some great posts, and I enjoy seeing not only what she’s been reading, but also all of the fun things she’s been doing, like those you see in the list above! Here’s a picture of Lauren, along with her bio from her blog:
My name is Lauren Becker, and I’ve been running Shooting Stars Mag since
around August 2007. It’s been through some changes and ebbs and flows,
but we’re holding on strong. I just want to say that I appreciate every
single person that leaves a comment, spreads the word about something
we’re doing or have posted, and for everyone that has
emailed/tweeted/messaged. It really does mean a lot and is a large
reason I keep the blog going.

The blog is mostly my work, but I do have a co-writer for some YA
reviews and her name is Alicia. If she wrote it, her name will be on it.

I also include guest reviews every now and then. These are sometimes
done by my sister or mom, as they like to help out. Again, these are all
noted within the post.
