This Thursday my blog turns three. THREE! I know, I know, these are crazy times. And because three is a super cool and aesthetic number and I think I am basically superhuman for making it this far, there is virtual CAKE! And a GIVEAWAY! (Yes, all the caps and exclamation marks are here today. I am in an excitable mood. *coughs*)
It feels very strange to have come this far… I didn’t really start out thinking I was going to keep blogging. I just kept writing posts, and then it sort of happened. My blogging style has also changed massively — I mean, even from my blogoversary last year it has changed! I feel like that comes hand in hand with me growing as a person, though. (This is getting really deep and emotional. I DIDN’T MEAN FOR IT TO BE THIS WAY. Never mind. *hands out handkerchiefs for everyone*) It’s like I’m just sort of changing more and more every year… Like one of those annoying graphs where you have to draw the increasing curve. oh no we’re onto the science similes
I’ve continued to make loads of awesome new people over the last year, and I have also done fun stuff like:
- Became very obsessed with musicals.
- VISIT NEW YORK AAH !!! Which I am still flailing about, to be honest.
- Go to more fun cons.
- Listen to Lauren Aquilina’s first LP.
- Read a ton of cool books including stuff like Radio Silence and Six of Crows and The Raven King.
- Er…sort of did some writing? *shrinks away* I have still procrastinated a lot and I definitely haven’t completed a first draft. AH well.
But mostly I just talked to people who are 1000% cooler than me. So YAY THANKS FOR THAT GUYS.
giveaway time!
Esteemed people, the moment you’ve been waiting for… the pride of Mount Vernon, gEORGE WASHINGTON the actual giveaway! Once again I’ve decided that it would be really nice to have a bookish giveaway, because books are always good and spreading the bookish love is also always good.
The winner will recieve a book of your choice from The Book Depository up to the value of £12! And that includes preorders, hurrah. If you don’t know what book you would get then don’t worry, I’m happy to recommend some things ahaha. I decided to do this one using TBD again because it has free shipping to loads of countries and I wanted to try and make it more available to everyone 🙂 (Also I am a smol person with limited money, alas.) So as long as The Book Depository ships to your country then you can enter, which hopefully should be most places. You can check here!
The giveaway will be open for two weeks from when I post this, yay. Once again thanks youu to everyone, and good luck! 😀 Now you may take your virtual slice of cake, or if you don’t like cake then another confection. Because no one should go hungry at a blog party. 😛
CONGRATULATIONS!! woww 3 years, I’ve only been here for three months and it feels like ages 😀
THANK YOU! ❤ Haha I don't feel old and wise at all though… Yep it's sort of both a weird I've been doing this since forever/but also really new situation. (That made zero sense but OH WELL!)
Weird as it might be, it does actually makes sense!
CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING 3 YEARS I’M SO PROUD!!! 🎉🎉🎉Also how do we enter the giveaway? When I clicked on the banner it didn’t do anything! (Might just be my phone though)
Never mind it works on my computer!

Ooh I do love Rainbow Rowell, her books are some of my favourites. 😛 Good luck!
HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY!!! Congratulations on the 3 years!!! That seems like sooo long ago. If I were to win I think I would get And I Darken or Simon vs the Homosapien Agenda.
