They Say It's My Birthday...

This is me right now. Minus the cake. I have donuts,

And they would be right. Today I get another year older. Today my age no longer starts with a 2 and I may be freaking out a little bit. At a young age my birthday was my favorite holiday. It was all about me, there was cake and presents, and I got to have a party with all my friends. Then at some point that shifted and I started dreading my birthday. There was still cake and presents plus there was still a party with all my friends. Since joining the blogging community a year and a half ago I feel like I have found my people. Everyone I chat with on Twitter and everyone I have met in real life has been nothing but amazing and sweet. So today I want to spend my birthday with you.

It's been an amazing year and a half of blogging. I'm still amazed that people read my reviews and posts. I'm even more amazed that people comment them and read books that I recommend. I feel like a very small fish in the book blogosphere but I'm just glad to be in the pond. Every interaction with members of this community has been nothing but positive. You are all amazing and supportive. I can't wait for BEA next week where I get to see some of you again and some of you for the first time. It's going to be so much fun.

If you want to hug me at BEA I will be playing the role of Chandler

I know you're supposed to get gifts on your birthday but I wanted to give you something. To say thanks for being so amazing and kind and welcoming. So to celebrate my birthday I am doing an international giveaway of a book that was also born today! As long as The Book Depository ships to you, you can enter. If you need suggestions her are a few I recommend.
