AVR News Update
Hello and Happy Sunday! 
3 years ago today I posted my very first blog post. I had no idea what I was doing and many days I still don't. LOL In that time: I have reviewed 577 books, published 565 posts and had 98,975 page views. Woah. That's a shit load. :D I've met some truly awesome bloggers, read some fucking fantastic books by authors I may never have discovered if I didn't blog, hooked up with some wonderful publishers and jumped on board InD'tale Magazine. I may be buried in more books than I can ever read in 20 lifetimes, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you to everyone who has hung out with me during this time. And even though I plan to tweak my blogging plan (I had to LOL, like I have any kind of so-called plan) I hope to be blogging for many years to come. Now, if I can just figure out how to make some graphics for my memes...maybe I'll have them by my 4th blogoversary. Better yet, I need to figure out how to live FOREVER! *cue maniacal laughter*

  2. Happy Blogoversary! Isn't it awesome how blogging can change our lives? Before blogging, I hadn't ventured outside my reading comfort zone...and then I realized there were so many books out there that I had never even considered. But, like you said, blogging brought more books into our lives just by being featured on blogs...and the world has opened up for us!

    May you enjoy many more blogoversaries!

    Thanks for visiting my blog.

  3. Congratulations, and nice post. 3 years is pretty awesome. And I have to agree- I've read stuff I NEVER would have touched (or knew about) jsut because of this little blogging thing. :) You've got fun stuff going on, hope you keep on enjoying it for a long time.

    1. Thank you! 3 years is like 21 years right? Or is that dog years? Anyway, I've almost completely switched to indie books AND I have not just one ereader, but two! Funny how life changes. :)

  4. Happy blogaversary! May you have many more. :)

    You do your own graphics? I am so impressed with everyone who does their own. I am so challenged in that department.

    Blogging really has opened new worlds and avenues for me and I've met some fantastic people. It's been quite a ride!

    I like Michelle's idea of going to the big library in the sky but I hope they have chocolate and cats there or I don't wanna go. :D

    Have a great week! (oh, your constipated comment at my blog made me giggle.)

    1. Thank you!

      I wish I could do my own graphics. I need to figure out how to do that. I especially need to come up with something nifty for Monster Porn Monday. LOL

      I know exactly what you mean! It's so awesome!

      I agree! :D

      Thanks and you, too. Glad it made you giggle. hehe
