I can't believe I have had this blog for an entire year, already! I have learned so much and yet I still feel like a newbie. I make mistakes, take forever to read books, and I struggle sometimes to find things to blog about. But, I have also grown as a writer this year. I have been able to be creative, find a conversational style of writing, and read some amazing books due to blogging.
Scroll to the bottom of the page for my Blogiversary Giveaway!
Here are some of my highlights for this year:
1. Getting approved to read 25 ARC books on NetGalley.
2. Getting the elusive 80% feedback rating on NetGalley.
3. Getting ONE approval on Edelweiss. This may seem terrible compared to NetGalley, but I did a happy dance because I have tried for months to get any action with this service and had zero success...until now!
4. Meeting Leigh Bardugo at her book signing for Six of Crows.
5. Getting 170 followers on this blog!
6. Getting over 600 followers on Twitter!
7. Reading 126 books last year.
8. Reviewing 65 books on my blog in the past year.
9. Writing 163 posts for my blog this year.
And most importantly:
10. Meeting (online) so many wonderful bloggers! I have made some lovely friends.

CONGRATULATIONS! \õ/ You take forever to read books, yet you still managed to read a 126 of them :D. Damn girl! Amazing accomplishments! I only got 1 Edelweiss approval as well and the book sucked, so pfft, just stick to Netgalley I say. Wow on the generous giveaway as well! *cheers*
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anne. You have always cheered me on! I don't like to watch TV, so I have plenty of time to read in the evening. Plus you will always see me with a book at lunch time and breaks. Thank you again, for the kudos.
DeleteCongratulations on blogging for a year! That’s a big milestone, and I hope your blog continues to grow.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Congrats on such a great blog and big accomplishments!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I really loved your book, Liars And Losers Like Us. I wrote a review on my blog that posts today, March 2nd. Congrats on your book and I hope it does really well.
DeleteHappy Blogoversary! *throwing confetti*
ReplyDeleteThank you, Birgit *virtual high five*
DeleteCongratulations on the blogiversary! I'm coming up on mine in July (I think!) this year, hopefully I've some numbers as good as yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mikayla. My numbers are getting a little better since this giveaway... Hopefully, people will stick around afterwards.
Delete126 books in a year! I AM impressed. I should count my achievements as I have no idea how many books I read. My branch library has closed so I will not be borrowing books for 2 years.Maybe I can get through some ebooks and some of my own collection.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I keep track of my reading with GoodReads. It also helps me to remember books when I hear about them. I just jump on the App and mark it down, before I forget. I'm sorry your library closed! That is terrible. Is there no other library nearby?
