Books are my happy place

It’s My Blogiversary!!

— feeling excited

blogiversary

 

Welcome to 125Pages’ 1st blogiversary!! I am so excited and can hardly believe it has been a full year since I went down the internet rabbit hole and discovered book blogging. It has been a busy year, but it has also been fun and rewarding. To celebrate my first year I have a packed schedule of reviews, guest posts, surprises and giveaways for you to enjoy. All giveaways will be hosted on my main site 125Pages.com. Check out the main article and enter here.

I have reviewed 204 books so far this year and will add another 24 by my official anniversary date (April 22) for a grand total of 228 reviews my first year.

 

I will have had 20 authors participate in Author Tuesday by the end of April.

 

I started the United States of Books with a bunch of amazing bloggers.

 

I have a whole new look from when I first started. The Wayback Machine has a great archive if you really want to check it out. It is very different now, and I am very thankful that we have an amazing graphic designer at the office who just emailed me my (current) header one day as he said he could not take the boring of the old one.

 


 

Now on to the fun stuff. I am celebrating, but you are the real winners. Here is the list of guest posts and giveaways for the month.
