1 Year Blogoversary + Giveaway!!



I cannot believe it's been 1 Year since I started this crazy blogging journey. This year has brought it's fair share of ups and downs and hasn't always been easy but am I glad I started this blog? Hell Yeah!! I have met so many fantastic authors, started reading outside my comfort zone and made many blogger friends along the way who I truly feel blessed to have in my life.

One thing I am incredibly grateful for is my followers. Even when I didn't post for a week or two at a time you still stuck by this blog. I always had fears I'd lose followers for my inconsistent posting this past summer and it pained me so much that I couldn't update more than I was. But, I made it through what I like to refer to as The Summer of suck and now I'm back and better than ever (least I think so lol)!! I especially want to give a big internet hug to all of you who comment and share my posts week after week, it really means so much!

Lastly I want to Thank the Publishers and Authors who request me to read and review their work, participate in tours or have as a Guest on the blog. I look forward to what 2013 will bring.

  10. OK, you're going to have to sit down for this one because the list of elligble books is probably long.

    I'd get Gravity by Melissa West, Unrest by Michelle Harrison, The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken, Wake by Amanda Hocking and since I didn't check the prices of these books and I'm guessing that they might be $10 each(wishful thinking,maybe), I'd get Warm Bodies or/and What Smart Students Know, The God Academy, Tiger Lily, Speechless, really the list goes on and on.

    It all depends on the prices of the books and my mood :). But I'm thinking that The Darkest Minds and Wake will definitely be among the books I get. Thanks for the giveaway! It's very generous. And congratulations on the milestone. :D

  29. Woot Woot Happy Birthday, Blood Sweat & Books! I honestly don't know what I'd buy. I'd say books but with Amazon, I could buy something crazy like an alpaca blanket but more than likely a TON of ebooks since I have no more room for physical books right now. Yup... I'm thinking lots of ebooks. :)
