First Blogoversary

Yippee!!! It’s my first blogoversary 🙂 I cannot believe that I have made it to one year of blogging already! It’s such a weird feeling because I feel like I just started last month but then on the other hand that’s impossible because I have read so many awesome books, met so many awesome people and had SO MUCH FUN !!!!

I started this blog last year simply to just give it a go and see where it went. I love books and I love talking to other bookish people and I thought this was the perfect way to combine them… I had no idea I would love blogging and this entire community so much!!

Total Reviews: 117
Total Posts: 302
Books Read since started Blogging: 125

I cannot even believe I have read 125 books since I started blogging. Prior to blogging I might have read 25 books a year MAYBE and that was a huge amount for me! The amount of reviews & posts I have had this year is also surreal to me… I can’t believe it 🙂

I have made so many amazing friends in the past year and had so many wonderful conversations with authors, I never would have met any of these people without blogging.

So basically to sum it up and keep it short and sweet without me blubbering on…

THANK YOU…

…to every single one of my subscribers, friends, followers & commentors!! Without you this wouldn’t have been fun for me and it definitely wouldn’t be something I’d still be doing. I love receiving comments and I have chatting with all of you! Thank you soooooo much 🙂

    Happy blogoversary! 302 posts in a year is fantastic, as is 117 reviews! It is definitely crazy how blogging makes you read more – I read more now than I ever have done! If I won I would probably choose Unbreak My Heart by Melissa Walker as summer is nearly upon us and it looks like a perfect summer read.

      Thanks so much Hollie 🙂

      I hadn’t heard of Unbreak My Heart before but I just added it; you’re right it sounds like the perfect summer read 🙂

    Thanks for the giveaway and Happy Blogoversary! I would choose something from my favorite wish list, like If I Should Die by Amy Plum, so I can complete my collection. 😉

    I’d get Asunder by Jodi Meadows because I already have Incarnate and both books look amazing and I want to read them together! Happy Blogoversary!

    Yay, congrats on your Blogoversary! That’s awesome! Mine was sometime back in February and I TOTALLY forgot about it! Oops!

    I have no idea what I’d request if I won! Possibly Shadow and Bone, which I loved but don’t own, or maybe Siege and Storm. So many choices!

      I haven’t even read City of Fallen Angels yet! I’m procrastinating a bit because I’ve gotten sidetracked with The Infernal Devices 😛 Thanks for entering Allie!!

    Congratulations on your blogoversary! I think I’d pick Another Little Piece. The girls on Epic Reads tea time were raving about it, and my library doesn’t have it yet. It sounds like a good, creepy fall read 🙂

      Thanks Melissa 🙂 Another Little Piece was SOOOOO good. OMG seriously one of the best debuts I have read this year 🙂 It’s totally worth it to pick it up… the cover is gorgeous and it’s marvelous inside. It’s umm… a mindfuck book! Totally messed up lol.

    I’d choose The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern because it has been on my top list for so long but I haven’t got the chance to buy it. I loved the cover and also the reviews of the book. Thank you so much for the giveaway!
