My Third Blogiversary


Another blogging year has come and gone. This one sort of surprised me because my 'blogiversary' was technically at the end of January.

I debated not posting anything, but wanted to use this as a chance to thank a few people.

First, thank you to ALL OF YOU! Those reading this. I never anticipated having a lot of followers, the fact that I am now over 1000 is pretty mind blowing to me. A huge thank you to every single person who stops by to read my blog. It means a lot to me.

The Ottawa blogettes. - We've certainly grown since last year. A huge thank you to all of you! Emilie, Katie, Meghan, Ciara, Jess, Kim and Katherine. You ladies make doing this even more fun. Thanks for the bookish chats, book swaps, rants and general awesomeness. You ladies are one of the best perks of this whole blogging thing.

Christy (The Reader Bee) - I can not even begin to thank you for all the banners, chats, and your general awesomeness. I love that we met through this whole blogging thing. We still need to have our Magic Mike/wine night (I haven't forgotten by the way). Also, thank you for catching up on Once Upon A Time. I love chatting about it with you. Thanks for being an amazing friend.

Kelly (Kellyvision) - Thank you for introducing me to Breaking Bad (and for the still fragile state of my heart after watching it). Thank you for letting me rant, vent, and basically clog you with direct messages on Twitter (and generally being awesome). You're an awesome sounding board for blog ideas and I am so glad we met that first year at BEA (and even more glad we became friends).

To the Sisterhood of the Traveling Book Club -  We survived Tampa. We can survive anything. Can't wait to Skype with you ladies again. I adore each of you, and our Google doc chats.

A huge thank you to all the authors and publishers I worked with last year. I look forward to many more to come.

Bethany Griffin and Katherine Longshore who NEVER fail to amaze me with their awesomeness. Thank you both for writing books that make me want to shout at everyone to read them. Thank you both for your kindness, and support of my blog events for your amazing novels. I can't wait to read what you both write next.

To all the authors whose books have made me cry, laugh, and everything in between - THANK YOU! Sharing my love of books is why I started blogging, and you're responsible for that.

I am going to have a quick giveaway. It'll be a thank you to to anyone who follows my blog. I am going to give away one of my favourite novels, and the winner will get to select from this list.....

1 Stolen by Lucy Christopher
2 Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin

I love comments. Thank you for stopping by my blog and thank you even more for leaving me a comment.

I have decided to make this an awards free blog. I appreciate the gesture, and love that you thought of my blog, however I simply can't pass them along as required.
