I never get those cool WordPress update bubble things that everyone seems to get, so when I checked in on Thursday, imagine my shock to see this little button just chilling there:
OMIGOSH. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I don’t know how I got here. Trust me, when I started in October 2016, I was pretty sure that I was just going to chill here, fall into blogging oblivion and never see the light of book day. Maybe I would have a few bloggers who would check it out. One day, maybe, I woudl get to the grand 100. I just wanted a place where I could talk about books and basically just hear myself speak and maybe, just maybe, connect with some people that would fangirl/boy with me hard. I had always been so in love with how epic the community seemed to be from afar – but to be an actual part of it? Surreal.
I would like to thank everyone who has ever followed me, commented on anything, read any of my posts, OR LITERALLY JUST ACCIDENTALLY CLICKED ON MY SITE. Each little thing means so much, and I seriously still get so ridiculously excited each time I get an email from WordPress updating me.
Even though I’ve been in a blogging slump lately, I can’t imagine book blogging not being a part of my life, and I thank you all for being such a big part of that. This community is fun, encouraging, kind, and so creative.
I’ll be doing something in the future for this (perhaps a little free book something??), but I think it needs a bit more creativity and planning than what I can think off the top of my head. However, I just wanted to send out a quick little thank you, because you are all wondrous and epic. ❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Congratulation…you have a fantastic blog!

Yes, ice cream is good! I hope you get out of it soon…one way I have to forestall a slump is to post every other day, rather than every day. That way I have more time to come up with ideas and not use up all my good ideas right away.
