Stacking The Shelves (10)

Hey Chroniclers! Another week has come and gone and many of us have gotten more books to add to our shelves. Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we showcase the books we received this week! This week it's basically a blessing that I didn't get a lot of things so that my TBR Pile doesn't go any higher.

When Cinder by Marissa Meyer first came out or I think ARCs were going around, my friend Ky from Can't Find A Bookmark read it and fell in love and just told me about it like the reader she is. I admitted it sounded good and last week I received a copy of Cinder and when I told my friend Ky, she offered to send me her ARC of Scarlet since she already had a hardcover and here we go! I finally got it and I can't wait to read both of them!

I keep hearing good things about both of these books and I'm so excited but I'm not sure when I will read them. Perhaps sometime before June but we shall see.

What did you guys get this week? Let me know in the comments down below!

A Closing Post (Birthday Bash)

The month has come and gone and here I am still blogging. It's crazy but now I'm counting down to when my blog turns 3. And I'm counting down to when I get 1000 followers of which I'm halfway done. 2 years ago I didn't know how far the blog would go. I wanted it to go far and for me to do what I love. And here I am, still going strong with no intentions of quitting. This has literally changed my life and I wouldn't change it for the world.

I just want to thank the many authors and bloggers who participated in the blog event. To the many followers I gained and who have stuck around since Day 1. To my friends who put up with me every day while I go on about things that does with reading and blogging. Here's to another year full of awesome reading!

But before you go, be sure to check out these contests that are finishing up VERY SOON!

Can't Find A Bookmark Guest Post (Birthday Bash)

Hello everyone and welcome to another day of our event. Today we got two things for you. The first one is a guest post that will be in this post of course. And the other thing will be a giveaway hosted by our lovely Can't Find A Bookmark!

Basically I asked a very dear friend of mine who has been there since day one of my blogging experience on her thoughts about her own blogging experience. Her response...

____________________

Book blogging has become a very popular trend over the last few years. After almost three years of writing reviews, doing giveaways, and promoting new books some people would wonder: why do you keep doing it? Out of the probably hundreds of book blogs out there, it is a far cry from being an original concept. The content from blog to blog is usually pretty much the same, so what makes it worthwhile?

The one thing that has always kept me blogging, no matter how busy with school and my job I get, is that I love to share new books with other people. Whether it be an old book or an ARC from an upcoming author; getting to talk about the pros and cons of a book, the character development, the rise and fall of the plot, always gets me excited. That giddy feeling you get when you start a new book and get sucked into the story to the point where, for a while you actually become the character, will never cease to be an amazing experience. With every new book, it's a whole new adventure you get to dive into. Countless times I have cried over a character death, laughed out loud at some hysterical moment, and about thrown a book in disgust or surprise.

Being able to experience that with other people who geek out about it just as much as I do, is always the highlight of my week. So that's what will always keep me blogging (at least in the foreseeable future); that connection I get with fellow book worms that forms a strong friendship no matter the physical distance.

____________________

Wow, I have to say that I agree 100% with what she said. The connection we get with not only the novels but with the people we meet is just too strong to not continue anymore. And I'm so grateful to having met Ky who is such an amazing person and puts up with so much! Haha.

If you want to check out more of her stuff like her blog (obviously) check her out at Can't Find A Bookmark at which she is currently holding an international giveaway that is part of the event to win a book of your choice. I know you all want a book of your choice so go ahead and check it out right now!

Can't Find A Bookmark's Giveaway!

What's up ma dudes?! >.> I'm just kidding! How are you guys doing today on this lovely day. The weather is so amazing right now! It makes reading more enjoyable, looking at books even better and joining giveaways even more fun than they already are. Luckily for you, all of those three have been combined! 

Ky over at Can't Find A Bookmark is giving away a copy of both Through Her Eyes and Forgive My Fins to a lucky winner in the U.S. Both books are simply amazing and if you haven't heard of them you're missing out. But lucky for you, Kyleigh has written a review for each of them so click the links below to view them.

Through Her Eyes
Forgive My Fins

Now what exactly do you have to do to enter the giveaway? It's easy, you just have to follow one of Jennifer Archer's site (twitter, blog, or facebook) and follow Kyleigh's blog and you'll be done. Well, then you just have to fill out the form but it's very easy. Where's the form you ask? For that you'll have to go to Ky's blog, otherwise you'd never visit her and this post would've been pointless. So take a few minutes and head on over to Can't Find A Bookmark's Giveaway, read what it tells you and then follow what it says. If you want to return to my blog after that, be my guest. But I seriously recommend you to look at her amazing reviews and everything else she writes.

The giveaway ends Friday, 23 March, 2012 so you have a few days left to enter. And trust me, you WANT to enter.
