2010 Wrap-Up Post

Wow! 2010 was an amazing year for me in the book blogging community!  I made new friends, found new authors, and read some wonderful books!  It was also my first FULL year of blogging.  For 2009, I only blogged for a few months, so 2010 I actually had 12 full months to share with you my book addiction!

Many people are doing posts about their Top Ten books of the year and such. Well, to be honest, I can’t do that.  I read so many books this year that I just can’t do it.  I tried to narrow it down, but the number just wouldn’t budge below 50.

First I want to mention some wonderful blogging friends!

I  had the great pleasure of having Fiction Vixen on my blog and let me tell you, she better plan on coming back this year!! She had me laughing so much with her guest post that my sides STILL hurt! She is so fun to read that you need to read her blog!

I also reconnected with a great fellow book blogger.  She was the first person I turned to when I started my blog in 2009.  She helped me when I had endless questions on the “how-to” of book reviews and blogging.  She never fails to help my TBR pile grow and my wallet to cry! Thank you Anna for everything this year and I look forward to sharing more pictures of the endless force of Mother Nature!

Then of course there is Kris ‘N’ Good Books who has expanded my reading experience to not only include M/M books, but now she has got me hooked on DeRo! *fist bump*

Finally there is Princess Bookie!  She introduced me to book tours and PBS games.  Oh man, how my wallet has cried with PBS games!  Each month we swap with other book readers to get our hands on new copies of great released books that have been on our wish list.  The tours have kept me busy with ARC reading and have fueled my obsession with new debut authors.  Who else puts up with me emailing them 30 times a day with “Have you seen this book?” or “OMG! You have to read this book!” ??

Now for the stats for 2010!
