Holy cannoli! I cannot believe I have been doing this for three years now. Sometimes it feels like I just started and then other times I can't remember not doing this. Blogging has become such a huge part of my life and I truly love it. I love sharing my love of books and I love that I have made such incredible friends because of blogging. This is such a wonderful community and I truly love that I get to be a part of it.
So let's recap this past year. This past year has been kinda crazy. My life outside of work has gotten a bit more hectic so that made blogging a bit more challenging, but I think I am doing an okay job balancing everything. Work has gotten busier and I have taken on more responsibilities, but so far I am managing to keep up with the blog and I have every intention of keeping it that way. I don't want to sacrifice my hobbies just because I have other responsibilities. What else.... I met a ton of great authors this past year and went to some amazing events. Some highlights being Apollycon, Romance Riot, and New York Author Occasion. Some of my favorite posts from this past year are:
And then of course, blogging would not be the wonderful thing it is without the wonderful friends I have made within this community. I never knew I would find so many incredible people in the world who just get me and understand my love of books. I truly believe that there are no closer friends than the friends you make because of the love of a shared book. This community has been such an incredible thing to be a part of. It has given me one of the very best people I have ever had the pleasure to know and one person who I really don't remember what my life was like before I spoke to this person daily. Nobody gets me quite like she does and I will forever be thankful for that. To all of my bloggy friends, I love each and every one of you.
