I am still alive, I’m still around on WordPress – you’re just more likely to find me over at http://www.pageonebooks.wordpress.com.
We’ve been reviewing books and bookish things for the last couple of months and it’s taken off in a way we never thought it would. It’s still small, we only have 315 followers on Facebook, about the same on Twitter and our WordPress is growing everyday. The blog was started for fun, to help us with our reading addictions. Everytime I start getting frustrated that we haven’t hit the thousands with our followers Ash remind me that this is for fun, we never expected it to ever be anything, and it cools down my nuber mad head. Our logo is also fantastic and I’m so in love with it that I’m going to get it made into a poster.
It’s allowed us to do some pretty cool things and meet some seriously amazing people. I’ve been to some book signings, taken part in releases and reveals that I never thought I would, I’ve done some beta reading and I’m not going to lie, I get a huge buzz every time I read something before it’s release date.
So yeah, that’s where I’ve been hiding. Plus work has been crazy. We’ve been understaffed for months and I’ve been struggling to find the time to do everything I did before. BUT we’re not short staffed anymore! Well we are for a few weeks while the new guy gets trained, but after that hello more free time!
Now add onto that we got a new dog. Yes, another one. No, I’m not crazy. And the two of them are getting on fine, there is the occasional spat but then two minutes later they’re playing again. So I’m not too worried about the two of them.
Also I’m going to be an aunt! Wooo Hooo! My baby sister is having a baby. Wow. I feel old! She’s due in September and we are seriously excited.Ashleigh and I are planning the baby shower so expect lots of DIY posts coming up because we’ve got some cool crafts planned for it.
I’m going to try and post here once a week because I’ve seriously neglected this lovely little blog of mine.
