What an amazing weekend we had! Thank you to everyone who supported the Bash this year by nominating your favourite bloggers, sharing the campaign, voting for the blogs you love the most (nearly 10,000 votes were cast!!), tuning in via Facebook and Twitter, and for those who made the trip into London to join the festivities.
I’ve loved reading all the positive comments from everyone who attended and the wonderful exclamations of surprise from our deserving winners and nominees.
Time to share some photographs from the day.
The name badges ready and waiting. Geoff signing his books for the raffle, the lovely George IV pub and our conference room.
Geoff and Hugh. Suzie and Sacha. Sam, Melanie, Jemima, Deb, Hugh, Emmalene, Linda.
Ritu (But I Smile Anyway) giving her presentation. Sacha giving her talk on the importance of mailing lists.
Enjoying the glorious sunshine in the courtyard (and sneaking a watch of the Royal Wedding) and lunch. Hugh, Lauren, Suzie. Linda, Deb, Melanie.
Ritu, me, Sacha, the Panel in full Q&A swing, the lovely Isa and Jo from Jo & Isa Love Books (winners of Best Book Review Blog).
And finally…
Linda Hill from Linda’s Book Bag – winner of Best Overall Blog.

A massive thank you to Greenstory who were the incredible sponsors of the Annual Bloggers Bash 2018.
Lovely account – less sure about that final photo though! Thanks to all involved – you included Shelley – for making it such a lovely day!
