One-Year Blogoversary [CLOSED]

I can’t believe it’s been a year since I’ve started The Book Vixen! When I first started TBV, I didn’t know how long this would last. Usually when I start a project it’ll last for a little while then I’ll get bored and move on to something else. But fast forward one year and I’m still here :)

I’d like to think I’ve come a long way in the world of book blogging. When I look at some of my earlier reviews, I want to cringe. But over the year I have found my niche and have also discovered my style (more or less). I have stepped out of my comfort zone a few times and thus have discovered some new authors. I am utterly grateful for all of the opportunities that have presented themselves over the past year!

You can find out how I become a bookworm by reading my About Me post. And if there’s something you want to know about me that you don’t see there, or anywhere else on this blog, ask away.

Last month, Maggie Stiefvater come to a local bookstore for a book signing to celebrate the release of Linger. I bought a copy of Linger for myself and had her sign it along with my Linger ARC and my copy of Shiver. I totally forgot to bring my copy of Ballad! So, why I am telling you all of this? Well, I’m telling you this because…..

I picked up an extra copy of Linger

and Maggie signed it.

She also signed a bookmark.

And I’m giving these away to one lucky winner. This is my way of saying Thank you. Thank you for welcoming me to the world of book blogging. Thank you for sticking with me. Thank you to all the new friends I have made in the past year. Thank you for listening to me ramble on and on about book talk (because my husband and most of my friends don’t want to talk about books).



GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
