Join us for the blogathon where X and Y make a fabulous mismatched couple…

 

We are at the halfway stage of the blogathon with some new posts from more fabulous writers.

 

 

Yesterday, we were joined by bloggers with some posts about wonderful mismatched couples of all kinds for this blogathon and these posts can be read HERE. Barry – from Cinematic Catharsis and and I were joined by a massive 10 wonderful bloggers  – and these included myself – for our Day 1 blogathon posts. Today I’ve added 2 posts from Barry’s recap post, and the others I got this morning… and my fabulous co-hosts post adding another 9 fabulous reads of genres all kinds. But all including a mismatched couple from Film or TV.

Barry’s unique choice of blogathon topic has inspired some wonderful posts so far, and I really enjoyed reading those posts from Day 1. I’m looking forward to reading all the rest of these posts in the next few days, so look out for a comment – if one doesn’t come please check your spam folder.

I look forward to those coming in the final day tomorrow. So in theory, you still have time to join us and you can check out the rules HERE. Be aware that due to my time zone, it may be the wee small hours here in Finland or late at night and I may be sleeping when your post  / request comes in. Please send these to Barry and me, so you can be responded to more quickly.
