First of all, I want to thank you all for making this a great year for me, blogging-wise! I'd like to share a few milestones I hit in 2012 because of everyone who continues to read the words I type.
At the beginning of the year, I hit 150 followers. By the end, I have over 1,460!
In the spring of 2012, I celebrated my one year blogoversary.
I reached my goal of reading 100 books! I actually read 104!

I love this post! I'm trying to think of one post to talk about my year, and I want to list my favorites, or do a survey, but all the surveys seem long. This looks like a lot of work, but I like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to comment! It took me quite a while to list each book, but then I realized that I could just copy my monthly wrap-ups! Haha. :)
