It's July 15th, 2013, so that means YA BOOK QUEEN is 4-years-old! Woohoo! Before I get to the giveaway, I wanted to take a moment and say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that has supported me and this blog.
Thank you to all the readers that regularly visit and leave comments, to my ninja readers (the ones that hover silently in the background and pop in when I least expect them), and to the readers who email me randomly to talk about / fangirl over awesome books. Thank you for not yelling at me whenever I take yet another blogging break.
Thank you to the bloggers who have ever given me advice or help when I asked for it, linked to a blog post, RT'd my tweets, or were just genuinely awesome or kind to me. I'm always amazed by how sweet and friendly most people are in the Blogosphere.
Thank you to the authors who were kind enough to grant me their time for an interview, especially when I've probably acted like a total fangirl with some of you. Thank you to the authors who asked me to review their books, to the authors who commented on my reviews of their books (seriously, that's always awesome), and the ones who randomly email and say something sweet.
Thank you to the publishers that give me the opportunity to review incredible novels! I'm always grateful for each and every story you send my way. And a huge thanks to the incredible and outstanding publicists I've had the pleasure of working with so far as a book blogger!
Book blogging is one of the best hobbies that I have because of the absolutely wonderful people that are present in the blogosphere. All of you - readers, bloggers, writers, authors, publicists, publishers, and everyone else - make blogging fun and worthwhile. Every comment, email, tweet (and so on) that I receive makes me light up and grin. I enjoy every second of blogging, thanks to everyone in the blogosphere. I can hardly believe it's been four years! Hopefully there will be many more years of blogging to come! :)
I wish I could host an amazing giveaway as a thank you to my readers, but I'm pretty much broke after purchasing books for my next semester in college. Instead, I can only offer one book of the winner's choice - so long as it's under $15. INTERNATIONAL (as long as the The Book Depository ships to you)!
*dances*
*throws confetti everywhere*
Happy Blogoversary!
