On the 25th January 2016 the second #CountdownML chat took place this time hosted by it’s brilliant creator Jim!

For those of you who don’t already know #CountdownML is the creation of the wonderful Jim Dean – @YaYeahYeah – and is hosted over on the @teensonmoonlane account.

The idea is to celebrate and chat about upcoming YA/MG UK releases each month and coincides with the creation of the most fabulous spreadsheet by the brilliant @SnugglingonSofa and YaYeahYeah – here which details as many UK YA/MG releases and fab blogger reviews as possible.

Jim asked me if I would like to be involved this year and make #CountdownML a monthly occurrence and after enjoying the previous chats (under #CountdownYA) I immediately jumped at the chance.

This therefore led on to me hosting the first #CountdownML chat of the year and the first chat I have hosted…ever – you can see that post here!

This time round the brilliant Jim was in the hot seat asking us all the questions.  The hour flew by and it was an hour full of crazy fast typing, brilliant conversation and books!

So many fab books!

For this months #CountdownML chat we talked about books being released between 26/01/2016 – 22/02/2016.

Here they are with thanks to fab graphics by Jim (@YaYeahYeah)!

I really enjoyed hosting my first twitter chat!

A huge thank you to @YaYeahYeah for trusting asking me to host the chat and for all the fab graphics and contacting publishers and authors etc.

Also to @SnugglingonSofa for maintaining this fab spreadsheet!

To all the fab publicists and authors who helped with giving Jim, Debbie and myself information about upcoming releases.

And as I said in the chat – a twitter chat is only as AWESOME as the people taking part.  So the biggest thank you to everyone who joined in and made #CountdownML AMAZING and my first chat hosting so much fun!
