Hey everyone! I almost missed the date, I’ve so busy at work =/ But it’s here! My little corner of the blogosphere is completing 5 years today (Saturday).
It is funny to think how much things can change in a year. I look back at last year’s celebration and see an awesome event that I am very proud of, but then I look at right now and realize that not only have I almost let the date slip by, but I also have nothing planed =/
Well, I decided to do something different this year, I’m still going to give something away, but I also wanted to write a meaningful post to all my readers, fellow bloggers and beloved authors out there.
First and foremost I would like to apologize some things. Number one, I am sorry for not being around much lately and posting on the blog much less frequently than usual.
Life gets in the way and for once I have a job I actually love and it has been keeping me exhausted all the time.
Number two, I’m sorry if I still haven’t sent you your prize from this year’s Book Boyfriend giveaway =( we, my dad and I, have been having a tight year and haven’t been able to afford the posting for a couple of the prizes. I WILL be sending them out as soon as I get paid in December! I promise!
Number three, I’m sorry for not commenting on anyone’s blog lately =/ I love drowning in my reader, read your posts and comment. I was doing it at least once a week, but again I haven’t been able to lately =/
Now for the good part…
Thank you SO much for all the love you all have been giving me since I started reviewing since 2009. This blog has been around since 2007, but it was strictly a personal blog for a while, my reviewing thing came up later on and has been going on ever since.
I LOVE Blogging! It makes me so happy to share my love for books with you all and the opportunities I have had because of it were incredible!
I was Larissa Ione’s roommate for a night, had bday dinner with Lara Adrian, danced with both of them, got to be a part of a panel at AAD, got nominated for Blog of the year, was mentioned in the Acknowledgements of Eternal Ride by Larissa Ione, attending the NY Comic Con… Things I would have never have imagined in ONE MILLION YEARS!
I have met amazing bloggers like Damaris from a Good Choice Reading, Danielle from ALPHA Reader, Jackie from Literary Escapism, Terry from Reading on the Backseat, the girls from Paranormal Haven and so many more, both in person and online,
I have met as well, incredible authors that not only write well but are fantastic people as well like Kitty Thomas, Gini Koch, Carolyn Crane, Dakota Cassidy, Nancy Holzner, Jeaniene Frost, Jocelynn Drake and SO MANY more that I adore!
Last but not least, I have been able to be silly, try new things and expand my reading horizons all because of YOU!
So I need to say…
THANK YOU!
~I’m so sorry if I forgot to mention someone! I love you all!
