I started a lot of memes that just kind of flopped. Because of me or just they weren't a hit. Oh well.
This year starts a new age on Bookworming in the 21st Century. I have taken on a blog partner and she is fantastic. April Nichole had a blog previously and decided to join forces with me in November and we decided to wait until the New Year to start off with us as a team. Check out her first review - Once in a Full Moon.
oooh exciting, welcome April Nichole :)

ReplyDeleteThis is why your blog is one of my favs!
Talk about impressive! The month in which you read the least books came close to the month in which I read the most; my hat's off to you! And I think I have a whole 1% of the number of followers that you do! I'm really impressed with all you've done!
ReplyDeleteHere's to an even better 2011!
