A Summary of 2012

I guess I'll start of with the beginning of my blog.  Only this February did I create this and since then, it's just been a whole bunch of fun.  I can tell you right now that my reviewing has greatly improved from when I first began (mostly because I had no idea what I was doing) and I've met so many great and amazing fellow reviewers and authors, as well.  It's been a blessing to be a member of this community and I cannot wait to continue this experience for many years to come.

So . . . in all of 2012, I have read a total of 128 books and gave 53 of those five-star ratings.  Maybe I just love books so much?  But, while all those books were worthy of the 5 star review, I do happen to have a few that really stick out in my mind.

    Fantastic picks Millie! We have a ton of books in common. I loved Sweet Evil to pieces, which totally surprised me. I never expected to love it so much! And I totally swooned over Kaidan. ;) I also really need to pick up Obsidian. It seems like everyone but me has read it, and everyone but me has loved it too. It's going to happen in 2013 hopefully!

    Happy birthday Millie, and I hope you have a fantastic 2013! <3
