Can you believe it! I've been reading and reviewing books for you for an entire year, and what a year it has been!
I've reviewed nearly 600 books, done more than a dozen interviews, and given away hundreds of books.
Plus, I've met some wonderful friends and authors (who are NOW friends!) along the way. This has been an amazing journey, and it's only the beginning. I have great books coming your way, some fun stuff planned, and hopefully, lots more giveaways!
It may be MY bloggoversary, but I'm giving YOU the gifts, because, quite frankly, without you, this wouldn't be nearly as much fun! So, leave me a comment with your favorite book/author/review, and I'm drawing some winners...
I'm going to be drawing 6 winners for things such as $5.00 Starbucks gift cards (2 winners), bookmarks (3 winners), and a $12.00 gift certificate to Christianbook.com (get it, a year = 12 months...).
PLUS, one winner will win a box of my favorite books from last year, with maybe one or two from this year so far...
Titles will include:
Around the World in 80 Dates by Christa Bannister
A Promise to Remember by Kathryn Cushman
Hollywood Nobody by Lisa Samson
Savannah Comes Undone by Denise Hildreth
Presumed Guilty by James Scott Bell
And maybe one or two more...you just never know!
So, get to commenting...I'm picking my winners on February 5th, my oldest daughter's 21st birthday (that way I won't forget!)...and tell a friend to come and take A Peek At My Bookshelf!!
Oh, and by the way...happy birthday to my youngest, my son who turns 14 today! Happy Birthday, Book Kid!
Happy Reading!

Ooh, sign me up!
Happy Blogiversary! It's addicting, huh?
Happy blogoversary Deena,
I enjoy your reviews and have found some books I'd never have considered without seeing your blog.
I've only been doing the blog thing since August but you are way ahead of me in terms of the number of books. I'm lucky to get through 3 books or so in a week - almost 2 a day I'd have to do nothing but read (of course that would be enticing if I had the time to do so).
