Time to Celebrate!

Time to Celebrate!

There is a lot for me to celebrate at the moment.  I believe there is 5 wonderful things here:

~~ Well, it is hard to believe its been a year ago I started blogging.  Yup, July 21, 2009 was the first blog post I did.  I never would have thought of growing the way I have here.  More into Book Reviews and daily memes on books.  I have enjoyed all that I have done here and looking forward to keeping up with it.

~~ I was so happy last night, as on the eve of my blogs 1st Birthday I got an email from an author who's book I reviewed with a trail of that book.  To my pleasure and surprise I was quoted in the trailer!  I was thrilled!  This is the first time for me to be quoted by an author.  Would you like to see it?  Here it is... I listed as my link names me Mels World Book Reviews.  Do you want to read the review of Dante's Journey?  It's here.



~~ The number of wonderful people I have meet here in one year.  Just amazing in thought.  Which brings me to my next celebration... I have passed the 200 Followers mark. HURRAY!!!

~~ Then My anniversary is on July 27th.  It will be 8 years married but 13 years together.  Hard to believe.  Time really does fly by.

~~ Then, last but not least I have a Birthday coming up... August 3rd.  But I am not telling you my age.  I am starting to not like the multiples of 5.  And I am not old enough to be my age. :) Does that make sense?  No, good... I'm not old enough to make sense. ;)



So what am I going to do to Celebrate?  Good question.  I am not 100% sure yet.  I have a few thoughts but haven't worked anything out.  
Any ideas?

I have thought about purchasing one of those lovely magnetic book markers I love (if the store has any left) for a giveaway.
Also, maybe a giveaway of a gift card, for Borders or Amazon (your pick).

Is there anything else to do?  So Stay tuned for a giveaway coming up. :)

But, I would love all my friends to celebrate with me.  Thank you all!

    Man I so understand this. Mines coming up on the 7th also and I stopped counting how old I am. I feel no where near my age so why count it? lol

  15. Happy blog birthday to you! I've so enjoyed meeting you this year and sharing the book blogging world. I like reading what you have to say! Also, happy anniversary! And your birthday is the day before my mom's. My blogoversary is a few days after that.

    Congrats on having your quote featured. You're famous! He emailed me about reviewing the book. I haven't had a chance to get back to him because of all that's been going on with me, but I think I'll accept if he's still interested. I know you said it was a great book.

    I should have the book list for TuesBookTalk to you by the end of the week. I'll email it to you.

    =O)

  16. Woo Hoo! So happy for your blogaversary!

    Now, this is what I say (and I've said this since I WAS 21)... I just tell people I've had only 21 birthdays and the rest are anniversaries of my 21st. So, I'm only 21. I'm not telling you how many anniversaries have passed. ;)
