Wow! I can't believe it's been 3 years! I sometimes still feel like a baby in the blogging world. I remember my very first post, a review of Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton. I remember the first people I met from blogging and some of them have become my best friends! Yes Rachel, Mindy, Nancy, Debbie, Pam, and Jen I'm talking to you! Love you ladies :D
I also remember the awesome authors and publishers who have been a blessing to work with I love you all! If I mentioned everyone this would be quite a long post. But I did want to send a special shout out to Veronica Rossi, Talia Vance, Katherine Longshore, Cory Jackson, AG Howard, and Joelle Charbonneau you have been some of my favorite authors and have become amazing friends! To the local ladies we must meet for Margaritas soon!
So what has changed in 3 years? It doesn't seem like much but it's actually been a lot. To start I had a partner... but after the first year it wasn't working out so we parted ways. I couldn't lose the blog name I had come to love so I'm still Two Chicks on Books. I've also gone through 3 blog designs and this current one is by far my favorite! When I first started blogging I had always dreamed of working in publishing and 2 years ago that dream started to come true. I became an intern at Entangled Publishing and 2 years later I'm a Publicity Director! I love my company so much! Thanks Liz Pelletier for the amazing opportunity! I also started a blog tour company with one of my besties Rachel from Fiktshun and Rockstar Book Tours has been a blast!
So ok I'm not one for long winded posts but what I really wanted to say is thank you!!! All of you who have been a part of this 3 year journey I am so blessed to have each of you in my life and I'm looking forward to more years of blogging to come! And to celebrate turning 3 I'm giving away stuff because whats's better than giveaways?!?!
Giveaway Details:
1 Box of 2014 ARC's US Only
1 Book from my 2013 Read list from The Book Depository International
