Hey everybody!
Welcome to the six year blogaversary poll! If you have ideas for other polls we could do during the week, feel free to post them here.
It was so hard just to choose a handful of memorable moments. But I would love to hear what you thought of these events even if you weren’t there for them. Or what your favorite events were. There have been hundreds of them so I know it is hard to choose sometimes.
Thanks for being with us and have fun!
The Kindle 2 contest entries are pretty entertaining!
Always loved when Angie Fox came and held her fun contests…. they were such a riot! And sooooo much fun! I miss those type of parties!
I cannot remember what it was called but I loved when you guys had that “Battle of the Books” when you had certain people represent a certain book, and we had to pitch the book. Every week you had to pitted against each other, and we had to vote on which pitch made us want to pick up the series. I remember getting chosen on representing Chronicle of Nick book and a Nalini Singh. I had to binge read to get prepared. LOL
I LOVED the Kim Harrison visit, and everything associated with her! She is one of my favorites!
I actually missed most of these but I have to go with the Very First interview with Marilu Mann on a purely emotional basis because it stated everything I love about the site! Really- all of them are fantastic
Anything with Mary Henry or Dakota Cassidy is my fav as these two will have me laughing till I pee my pants!
OOPS I meant MARK not Mary- sorry Mark
I picked the interview with Jim Butcher.
I really enjoyed the interview and chat with Charlaine Harris, I think she’s wonderful. I also chose Mark Henry and Kim Harrison in the poll, they’re both awesome as well.
Charlaine Harris fan here!
I loved the Kim Harrison interview.
I have soft spot in my heart for Kim Harrison. She was my first urban fantasy read!
kindle 2 need to read since my ereader died
I love your interviews with authors, especially Laurell Hamilton, and Kim Harrison. I like Charlaine Harris, too. You have such great sharing with the authors and I know I’ll learn something new.
I voted for the Kim Harrison event, just ’cause she’s my favorite.
I’d have to vote for the “Pre Funk Party for Talk Like a Pirate Day with Author Angie Fox and Pirate the Talking Dog!” sooo funny
Everything about Bitten By Books is AWESOME!!! I just LOVE them!!!!
WWYD4AK2…of course !!!
What would you do?!
That was so much fun, especially doing the Retro Diva!
That is uber hard to decide! But my vote went to Jim Butcher…amazing writer.
I’m still new to this site, but the post I most liked until now was the post in which authors discussed what Urban Fantasy, as a book genre, meant and how it may transform in the near future C;
What I love from Bitten by Books is the interaction with the authors. Really help to find new author to read. Also love when there were discussions about urban fantasy genres. Please hold discussion about other genres too!
I vote for Kim Harrison event
Love the author interviews! Kim Harrison was my favorite.
Holy crap, I remember all of those! But I’m going to have to with Angie Fox. If I recall correctly I believe a certain someone up there entered and left the party pantsless! Here’s a hint her name starts with ‘R’ and ends with ‘aonaid’
By the way, thanks for choosing these Rachel. I have no idea how you narrowed it down to just these!
LOL - Do not forget my partner in crime - Koren… she formed the pantless table.
Ha! Very true! Indeed Koren was the instigator of many of pantless folk.
love meeting new authors
I’ve enjoyed most of the events I have been able to attend here. The most memorable for me was one with Dakota Cassidy. Love the humor.
Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris and Laurell K Hamilton are some of my favorite authors.
I;’d like to Win a Kindle 2
I like Jim Butcher
I really enjoy the author interviews and love LKH, Kim Harrison and Charlaine Harris
Definitely Jim Butcher’s appearance, because I love his Harry Dresden series.
Jim butcher because it helped to convince me to try his books and the event with kim harrison because i can’t resist her
( the kindle event was great too even if it wasn’t accessible for me i enjoyed seeing the others reactions)
I loved the Jim Butcher interview!
I love author interviews that make me laugh, talk about their everyday “boring” lives, and give some insight as to who they are as a person, besides being an author! I obviously love learning about new books and authors, and giveaways are always icing on my book lover’s cake! LOL
Love the chat with Charlaine Harris..I am a huge Sookie Stackhouse fan..love the books and the TV show..Eric can bite me anytime and Sookie can read the minds of people I work with so I know who to avoid for the day
the kindle contest!!
I liked the Kim Harrison visit. She is at the top of her game as an author. It’s always great to learn more about favorite authors. Thanks.
Arrrrgh it was talk like a pirate, followed by Jim Butcher and Mark Henry!
I love Kim Harrison so anytime I get to read about her it is fantastic!
I’ve enjoyed SO many but from the list it would be: Pre Funk Party for Talk Like a Pirate Day with Author Angie Fox and Pirate the Talking Dog!
Kim Harrison for sure with Jim Butcher and Mark Henry next in line.
I enjoyed all the events.
I picked
1. Cat with Charlaine Harris
2.Kim Harrison
3.Pre Funk party with Angie Fox
There have been so many events that I couldn’t pinpoint one or another as they just get jumbled together a little bit for me.
This might not be specific enough but I really like release parties. I like the prizes (duh!) but I also love reading the interviews and reviews that go with the release parties.
All good events. However, when I saw the title I immediately thought of the Angie Fox parties. They were more of a be here for the party feel… plus cool name generators, connecting with the other readers, fun virtual food, oh my! Without a doubt that was my fav.
Chat and Contest with Author Laurell K. Hamilton
I didn’t participate in the Charlaine Harris Interview, Chat and Contest-but I wish I did. I’ve read all of Sookie Stackhouse’s mysteries twice. She’s like an old friend I visit now and again.
Love jim Butcher
love kim and interviews
Pre Funk Party for Talk Like a Pirate Day with Author Angie Fox and Pirate the Talking Dog!
That was so much fun!
I really don’t know, I haven’t been on here very long. I signed up cause it had to do with VC Andrews books.
I haven’t been following for long but I did stop in for Kim Harrison’s interview, I love her and The Hollows.
So hard to chose, but I loved Kim Harrison’s interview!
Oh, man, Mark Henry is just edging out Angie Fox (who I discovered through BBB) for the top spot. Great events!
LOVE THE INTERVIEWS!!
Author Jim Butcher Guest Appearance Q&A and Contest
Finding out how to win a Kindle is awesome.
I have to say that I love Mark Henry and his irreverent, twisted mind.
like the What Would YOU Do to Win a Kindle 2 Contest post
Angie! Mark! Christine! I had just found you and these three and Mario Acevedo are the ones I remember best. I still have every item for the three contests I won that month Angie’s, Mario.s and a big ‘ole swag pack. And if you look there is still a video of what I did to try to win that Kindle 2.

The Vlog chat with Mark Henry was one of my favorites. He is so hilarious. The interbiews with Kim Harrison and LKH were also favorites. They are two of my favorite authors.
Their has been a lot of great events. You are one of my favorites sites. Always great reviews, interviews, recs and giveaways.
Love love love learning about and hearing from the authors. Kim and Jim especially!
I loved the Kindle 2 contest. I love reading your reviews and interviews.
You do so many wonderful things. I still have a hard time choosing between the Charlaine Harris interview and the Laurell Hamilton interview. I love your giveaways and all that you do. You have a great blog.
I love Angie Fox’s parties on here and who can go wrong with Charlaine Harris.
I have enjoyed so many things about Bitten by Books. I really enjoyed the VLOGs with Mark Henry.
I can’t pick one, but I love the contests and chats with Authors. Loved Laurell and Kim!
The Charlaine Harris event!
I voted for two author’s discussions since it is a very cool opportunity to speak with my favs, Kim Harrison and laurel k Hamilton. Thank you very much for the opportunity and keep them coming!
I would have to say John Butcher. That interview alone got me reading one of his books which had me ganking my son’s night light.
I loved the interview with Charlaine Harris!!!
The Kindle 2 contest had me laughing
Loved the Jim Butcher and Laurell K. Hamilton ones
Charlain Harris is the best - I’m a big fan
I love Kim Harrison.
I LOVED the Kim Harrison visit and Laurell K. Hamilton and the interview with Charlaine Harris
Definately what would you do to win a kindle. these are always interesting.
I love them all but the Kindle contest and Angie Fox are two of my faves.
I think I missed it but the kindle contest sounds pretty fun I gave it my vote!
Jim Butcher!! My choice maybe biased though because I love his series
