Wow! 5 years! Where did the time go???
I really cannot believe it has been five years since I started True Story Book Blog. 1,825 days ago, two book besties came up with the crazy idea to make a blog that shared their love and passion for books. A lot has happened since then, there have been many ups and downs but the blog has remained and I am very proud of that.
I feel like a broken record because I say it every year, but I am so incredibly thankful that I have this blog so I can share my love of books and the amazing authors that write them. I had no idea the impact that it would have on my life and how much it would mean to me. I wouldn’t trade anything for all the rewards I have experienced from creating True Story Book Blog. The authors I have discovered, the books that have touched my heart and all of you amazing people who have supported me.
I cannot find the words to completely express how thankful I am for anyone who ever visits my blog. That’s why every year, for my blogiversary I throw the most insane giveaway I can come up with – to thank and give back to the amazingly fantastic people who support me. If I could give you all a hug and say thank you personally, I would – but I can’t, so this is my best attempt at showing my thanks and gratitude.
