June 4 marked my Four Year Blogging Anniversary!
It's hard to believe I've been blogging for such a long time. It feels like lots has changed in the blogging community since I began (and it really has), but the core has always stayed the same. A friendly, welcoming group of people who love books and love sharing that love.
I've been lucky over the past four years to make some wonderful friends who I've also met in real life: especially Danny and Pushy of Bewitched Bookworms, Jenny of Supernatural Snark, Mary of Bookswarm, Melissa of I Swim For Oceans, Karen of For What It's Worth, Julie of My 5 Monkeys, Rachel of Parajunkee, and many more. I've gone to BEA three times! Met authors and publishers, gotten ARCs, had an excuse to tour New York...
When I began blogging, I told myself that I would only continue doing it if I was having fun and I definitely wouldn't let it take over my life. I can say without hesitation, four years later, that it has totally taken over my life and I'm having a blast!
In celebration of four years, I'm offering an awesome giveaway. I'm giving away two sets of books to two readers!
Set 1: Pushing the Limits and Dare You To by Katie McGarry and Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles
Set 2: Frozen by Melissa de la Cruz, Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes, and This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales
Enter below to win!

ReplyDeleteI would love set number 2, my favourite song is Run Boy Run, by Woodkid. It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer set 1 and right now (althougth this varies a lot) my favourite song is Fences by Paramore :) Thanks so much for the giveaway and congrats on your blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary! Probably set 1. I've heard such good things about those books. Although, I really want to read This Song Will Save Your Life. Anything from One Republic right now.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary! I would prefer set one. My favorite song right now would be Best Day of My Life by American Authors :)
ReplyDeleteI would love set 1. Right now, my favorite song would have to be All of The Stars by Ed Sheeran! Happy Blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteYAY!! Happy Blogoversary! Mine's at the end of this month -- how is it that FOUR years have gone by already?!?
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer set #1. Favorite song right now? John Legend's All of Me
ReplyDeleteYay :D Congrats on four years. <3 That is amazing. I hope you will continue blogging for a long time :) (Thank you for the giveaway; though I'm not entering ;p)

HAPPY FOUR YEARS BLOGGING, ALISON! That is quite the accomplishment. Thanks for the giveaway too.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogoversary, Alison! :D That's so exciting! I'm coming up on my 7th blogoversary.
ReplyDeleteI mostly wanted to come congratulate you, but I'll enter your giveaway just for the heck of it too. :D I'd prefer set 1 and my favorite song right now is still the Glee version of "Someone that I used to Know." I <3 Matt Bomer's voice.
Happy blogoversary, Alison. Well done. I would like set 2. My favorite song, as soon as I read that I thought of Cruise by Florida/Georgia State Line. I'm not crazy about country, but it is a fantastic summer song, get in the car and drive with your window down and the wind on your face.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogoversary!! Such a great and fulfilling accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteI would like set 2. My favorite song right now would be Luke Bryan's "Drink A Beer." When I first heard it, it made me think of my two recently deceased older male cousins and their relationship with one another. Since this past week was the birthday of one, it has been weighing heavily in my thoughts, and I can picture Ricky and Mikey living out the words of the song.
Happy Blogoversary! That is really awesome. Thank you for all that you share. I love finding about books I otherwise never would have ever heard of before, and blogs always help. I would love set #1. Looks fabulous. I not sure what my favorite song is. Tough choice.
ReplyDeleteI just met simone Elkeles at a book event a couple weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteHi Alison! Happy Anny! Set 2 and Its all Downhill From Here by New Found Glory i forgot how much i loved them back in the day
ReplyDeleteOh Alison! 4 years, really?! That is so incredible. Congrats!! I feel the same way about blogging in the beginning vs blogging now. A lot has changed, definitely, but I'm still loving it even if it has taken over my life a bit, heh. So here's to another 4 years!!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogaversary, Alison! :)
ReplyDeleteI would like Set #2 and favorite song is anything by George Strait.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary!!!
4 YEARS!! Congrats Alison! It's been a crazy time and usually 4 years is my Obsession-Change time, yet with Book Blogging I'm still here and having a blast just like you:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for four years! That seems like such a long time, but probably not when you can look back on them. Here's to another four (and hopefully) more years!
ReplyDeleteI would prefer Set 1. I am obsessed with Once Upon a Time by Lana Del Ray. In fact, I'm listening to it right now as I write this :)
ReplyDelete4 years!! Wow!! Great job and I have had fun reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alison!
ReplyDeleteBlogging has taken over my life too! I never even expected more than 4-5 people to ever see my blog. lol
I'm so glad we met and I have you around to expand my musical horizons :-)
Congrats!!! Have a good 5th year :)
ReplyDeleteIf I had to chose I'd pick set 2, and my favorite song right now is Happy by Pharrel
I would prefer Set 2 and my favorite song right now is "Hey Brother" by Avicii.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer set 1 and my favorite song right now it brother by matt corby
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I'd go with either set since I haven't read any of them, but maybe I'd be number 2 first.
ReplyDeleteAnd happy blogoversary!!
Happy Bolgoversary!
ReplyDeleteI'm really interested in set number 2 (keeping my fingers crossed!).
I don't have a favorite song currently. I have been listening to the album Rave Tapes by Mogwai before bed every night. It's pretty fantastic.
