Blogoversary Giveaway!

 

Two more weeks! I can't believe it! When I first started blogging, I had no idea what I was doing or what I was getting myself into. I quickly caught on to how things worked in the blogosphere by checking out other blogs and asking questions. Bloggers are such friendly people, always happy to help and share their knowledge! So now, as my first blogoversary fast approaches, these are the top 5 things I've learned about book blogging:

1. The blogosphere is HUGE! I've realized that non-readers have no idea how big this world is, how strong our voices are and how much we influence the book market.

2. Blogging can feel like a full-time job. My mind is always working the critic angle: always on the look-out for things to share with my followers and making sure I get the news out in a timely fashion.

3. You want followers? You'll have to go out and get them! Yes, some will find you on their own but mostly it's up to you to go out and promote your blog by following or commenting on other blogs or using great sites like The YA Blogosphere or The YA Book Blog Directory.

4. It's not always easy to articulate why you love a book in such a way that encourages other people to read it. Sometimes I just want to post: 

"This book was awesome! You should read it!"

5. I don't have enough eyes or hands to read all the books in my TBR pile!

Now let's get to the good part! THE GIVEAWAY!! YAY! I wish I could offer a crap load of books and multiple winners and a whole buncha swag but this prize will be coming out of my own pocket so the limit is one winner - one book.

I will buy the winner one book of their choice!!

Limit is $20.00USD

On a side note, I have a a new cover to share with you! Supernaturally by Kiersten White!

I love the warm colors and the way the models hair seems to glow against them. What do you think of it?
