A Look Back at 2009!

Just want to look back at what I've accomplished this last year on the blogging front...a trip down memory lane sort to speak.

I started this blog, I think, in April and have been floored by all the wonderful people, books, experiences, etc during these last nine months. A big thanks to all who have read my little blog and have let me into your lives just a little!

Let's see....

Books read: 69

Challenges I joined: The Everything Austen Challenge was my first and how I met so many wonderful bloggers who are now my blomies! RIP challenge, Helluva Halloween Challenge, 2009 Holiday Reading Challenge, Women Unbound Challenge, and the Fear Itself Challenge. And the only one I didn't complete was the Fear Itself Challenge, which required me to read genres/authors I've never tried...

Books Won: 17

Awards Received: 20, but a few are repeats!

Followers: 77!

Giveaways: 2. I hosted one for my pirate week back in September and one for my first fifty followers!

I also participated in a book blog tour for Only Milo thanks to Nicole! And I participated in Velvet's virtual Pemberley Ball which was just delightful!

Blogging has renewed my interest in books and knowledge! Thanks to everyone for making my year one to remember!
