On Top Down Under Celebrates 3 Years!
Yippee! We’re Turning 3!
On October 6, 2015, On Top Down Under Book Reviews officially celebrates our three year anniversary. It all started over the shared love of a book. A friendship was born and before long, On Top Down Under was created. Who knew that two strangers from opposite sides of the world would still be going strong three years later? Not just going strong as friends, but as blog partners as well.
The past three years have been very good to us and we want to celebrate our anniversary with you. Every day during the month of October, there will be giveaways by some of your favorite authors, guests posts, and interviews. Without you, our readers and followers, we know On Top Down Under wouldn’t be what it is today. What better way to celebrate than by making you part of our celebration?
Our success never would’ve happened without all the authors who write such amazing stories. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and thank you for joining us in celebrating our three years. We also wish to send a huge thank you to Steve Berman and Lethe Press for your generosity during our month-long celebration.
We look forward to many more years in the future! ~Kazza K and Cindi

Happy 3 years to our blog and there’ll (hopefully) be many more. A big thank you to all those authors for their time and giveaways. I hope that people come along and support it, get some helpful info about new or favourite authors, and perhaps win themselves a free e-book, signed paperback or gift card 🙂 🙂
Happy anniversary, On Top Down Under! I’m thrilled to be part of it. 😀 To second what Kazza said, a huge thank you to all the authors who are helping us celebrate our 3rd year.
Happy blog birthday ladies. Thnx for letting me loose on here sometimes it’s always fun trying to behave. 😉 Good to see some of the dudes I’ve read representing!
Thank you, Jay. We happen to like when you don’t behave. Just sayin’. 😉
Come on, you never behave, Jay, lol
Thanks for writing some reviews for us and thanks for the wishes 🙂
Congratulations to On Top Down Under Book Reviews 🙂
Thanks, Angela . It ‘s nice to be 3 🙂
Happy blog anniversary to ontopdownunder. Hip pip hooray! 😀
Thank you, Jana. I feel like singing happy birthday now 🙂
I discovered your blog approximately 2 years ago when I was looking for comprehensive reviews in the queer romance genre. You’re never afraid to embrace first time authors, indies, different letters in our community and I widen my reading scope because of this. Thank you for your reviews, which must be time consuming, that provide me with easy opportunity to access new authors and reading.
Happy 3 years, On Top Down Under. May there be many more to come.
John
John, that is just lovely. Thank you so much. Words fail me at your comment. You’re one of our thoughtful “Johns” who pop on here from time to time and comment and we appreciate it very much.
Yes, the reviews can be long in the making, but it’s a love of all of ours. Cheers 🙂
Happy anniversary ladies! Over the last year I’ve been checking your blog almost daily to read the latest reviews which I have found to be honest and enlightening. My reading list has grown exponentially thanks to your help. I’d like to throw my name in the hat for giveaways. Any three titles from my back list to winners of your choice. Most formats are available. Let me know the particulars once you announce the winners. Once again, best wishes for your continued success!
Thank you so much, Mickie, for your well wishes and your generosity. I will do a separate post for your giveaways. We (and I know our followers) really appreciate it. You know I’ve enjoyed your work since I had the pleasure of reading Chyna Doll. You’ve been very kind to On Top Down Under and you are definitely one of those authors we send our gratitude to. Without the wonderful books there would be no On Top Down Under Book Reviews.
Thank you again.
Congrats on turning 3. Wishing you lots more anniversaries. 😀
Thanks, Josh. 🙂
Happy anniversary to my favorite review site. Many more!!
Thank you so much, John. And thank you for being part of our celebration and for writing such amazing books. 🙂
Thank you to everyone who took part in our 3 year blog anniversary – whether than be the authors, the people who commented, or those lurking and looking. We appreciate you all 🙂
