It's My Two Year Blogiversary! (And there's a giveaway!)


It's my two year blogiversary! Two years ago, I started a little book blog in hopes of meeting and talking to more people who shared my love of all things literary. I'm still in awe at how much it's grown in these two short years. I've met some truly fantastic people these past couple of years and read so many fantastic books because of this blog.

As an added bonus, on the same day as my blogiversary I also reached 7,000 followers on Tumblr. I'm not going to lie, I was secretly hoping to reach this milestone in time for the big day and when it happened I actually think a screamed (ask my roommate).

In order to celebrate these two special milestones I'm hosting a giveaway! That's right, I'm giving away two prizes and it's open internationally! Check below for more detailed instructions and access the widget to enter.

Thank you so much to everyone who's made these two years so special. I can't wait to see what the future has to bring!

    Happy Blogiversary! I don't even know what book I would choose, there are just too many options haha I'd probably close my eyes and pick one from my 'to read' list if I'm being honest! :)

      I'm a huge Throne of Glass fan so that's the one I would recommend but either book is a solid choice,

  10. Aviddreamer17February 1, 2015 at 4:47 AM

    Landline by Rainbow Rowell, Stardust by Neil Gaiman, or The Diviners by Libba Bray. I need to read them so badly!

    1. LourdesFebruary 1, 2015 at 11:08 AM

      Landline and The Diviners get a thumbs up from me! I haven't read Stardust but I'm sure it's great since it's a Neil Gaiman book.

    I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PICK. The Princess Diaries XI is coming out this summer. Raven Boys IV is coming out later this year. Okay. I've narrowed it down to A Thousand Splendid Suns, All the Light We Cannot See, The Knife of Never Letting Go ooooooooooooorrrrr The Outsiders.

    1. LourdesFebruary 24, 2015 at 2:29 PM

      In my biased opinion I would have to recommend All The Light We Cannot See because it's ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL (and because it's the only one I've read of the books you've mentioned)

  15. UnknownFebruary 2, 2015 at 2:22 AM

    Happy Blogiversary! and thank you for this generous giveaway! If I win I would really love the kiss of deception or solitaire or the fifth wave or the raven boys. hahaha I just want so many books

    First of all, good anniversary: it's nice seeing how some blogs continue to grow and never let go of their interests but, instead, sharing them with others :3
    Andddddd yep, I wouldn't know what to buy now. I would just have To spend minimum half an hour thinking about it. Choosing a book it's a great task 😱
