Three Years Ago Today....

Three years ago today I posted my first book review with Blogger. I had been posting reviews on MySpace, but even then, I could see that MySpace was not going to have the longevity that I felt necessary for my reviews.

In three years I have read and reviewed 387 books. My blog has been read over 50,000 times by readers in more than 75 countries. I have posted 775 times. Everything from book reviews, to author interviews, to book related gift ideas and of course book related quotes. My first review on this blog was House Lust . I must say here it is three years later and I still have House Lust. I have read great books, horrible books and everything in between. I have discovered new (to me) authors and have kept up with old favorites. I have gone through dozens of layouts, although I think I will be sticking with this one, but I am not making any promises.

Blogging has become an important part of my life. I have come to think of my readers as my friends. There is a whole book blogging community that challenges me to be a better writer, a better reviewer. I know that I have a long ways to go, but, I read their blogs and think "I want to be like them when I grow up!" Reviewing books gives me the opportunity to do what I love, read, and share that love with the whole world. What more could a girl ask for?

What does the future hold in store? Well, I suspect more reading. LOL. As blogging trends ebb and flow I will try new features, remove old ones, see what works and what doesn't. I am always open to what you, my readers, are interested in seeing on my blog. What interests you? What would you like to see? But, above all, I promise you this, I will always be reading and I will always share with you my thoughts on what I am reading.
