So I glanced down at the date on my computer last week (which is the only way I ever know what month it is, BTW) and realized I was coming up on my six-month blogiversary. How nifty is that? It seems only last week that I was telling my husband, “hey, I think I want to start a book blog so I have a reason to not watch so much TV.”
Yes, that was one of my actual reasons for starting this blog. It kind of succeeded.
And since then, I have discovered many fabulous books and awesome authors. I’ve even met some of them, which rocks. Plus I’ve met some pretty fantastic fellow bloggers, and learned about some incredible events that take place right in my city that I never knew existed. So basically, what I’m saying is, this blog was a good idea.
So to celebrate you putting up with my rambling for six months (or six minutes, depending on when you started following me), I’ve decided to give one of you a present. I’m going to let you pick one book from my top 10 favorite books I have read since I started blogging. (It was hard to narrow down this list. I’ve read a lot of good books in the past six months!)
Here are your options (clicking the book title will take you to my review):
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Crown of Embers by Rae Carson
Defiance by C.J. Redwine
The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
The Selection by Kiera Cass
Timepiece by Myra McEntire
To enter, just fill out the handy-dandy rafflecopter below.
Details:
- US only (sorry, I’m poor)
- You must be 13 or older
- Winner will be notified by email and have 48 hours to respond. In the event the first winner does not respond in 48 hours, a new winner will be chosen.
- I will be checking IP addresses and follow names, so don’t try to cheat. You WILL be disqualified. Plus, cheating is lame. You don’t want to be lame.
- Good luck!
Thanks to those of your who have been reading my blog since March, and those of you who just found me five minutes ago. It’s been fun!

Congrats on 6 months blogging! I’ve just come back from a 6+ month hiatus and trying to catch up. One of my favorite books I’ve read in the last 6 months is The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa. I loved how dark it was with the post-apocalyptic world and vampire zombies (yes, you read that right) If you haven’t read it yet, you should definitely put it on your to-read list!
Donna recently posted..Follow Friday
I have read it, and it just barely missed my list! If I was doing a top 12 or 13, it would have been up there 🙂
I have to say that it’s The Color of Earth. I just finished it for Banned Book Week.
