Blogoversary! Annette's Book Spot is Five Years Old!

This blog turned five on September 17 and I didn't post anything then because I was going to participate in The Fantastic Fives Event that some bloggers put together for several blogs that turned five this year. At the last minute I was told I didn't qualify because I had posts from 2009 on my blog. I explained that those were copied from an old blog and that my statistics clearly indicated I started Annette's Book Spot in 2010, but to no avail. Here's my post from September 2014 celebrating my 4th Anniversary.

So it IS my 5th Blogoversary. I'm not a part of that celebration, but I have already acquired books for my giveaway, so let's celebrate!

I'm giving away two books to one winner. The Diviners, by Libba Bray (paperback) and The Testing, by Joelle Charbonneau (hardback.) I really like the simplicity of using Google forms for entries. No hoops to jump through. You don't need to follow or comment or tweet. (Although all of that would be appreciated.) Just one entry per person please. Contest closes on November 29 at midnight. The winner will be contacted via email and will have 48 hours to respond with their address. Good luck!

Happy Blog Birthday to Me! - Four Years and Counting

This week marked the fourth anniversary of my creating Annette's Book Spot. I've learned so much since then. Looking back at some of my original posts is really embarrassing. I can't believe how time flies and that I still really enjoy doing this. As long as that is the case, I'll keep it up.

Also, this week I tried my hand at folding a book.

I'm pretty happy with the result and plan to put this on my desk in the library. I got help from a great tutorial that you can find here and here. It was fun to make.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week!

It's My 3rd Blogoversary!

Doesn't seem like I've been at this for three years -- well, really a bit more, since I originally started with another blog that was not exclusively about books. I've really loved every minute, and I'm so grateful to all of you for joining me on this journey. I do this for myself, but I have to admit, I enjoy the interaction with and appreciation of other bloggers.

Blogging has been such a learning experience for me (you'll see that if you go back and look at some of my early posts!) I still enjoy learning new things, and learning about new books from all of you!

Here's to another year! Thanks from the bottom of my heart!
