Happy 4th Blog Birthday!!

Posted April 10, 2019 by meezcarrie in miscellaneous / 73 Comments

On this day in 2015, I decided to start a bookish blog that I was sure no one would ever read – except maybe my Mom 😉  What a crazy-fun four years this has been! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my ramblings and swoons and ugly-cries for these past four years – and for really making this a community of book-loving friends who love authors and book boyfriends and great reads!

Where Do You Come From?

You visit the blog from predominantly these countries:

(in order by # of views)

  • USA
  • Canada
  • Australia
  • United Kingdom
  • New Zealand
  • Ukraine
  • South Africa
  • Portugal
  • the Netherlands (Anna, I’m pretty sure this is just you LOL)

You find blog posts mostly through these avenues:

What Do You Love?

So have these Top Ten Tuesday posts:

As have these author interviews & guest posts:

What about you? Is there something I haven’t talked about much in the last 4 years that you’d like me to tackle? Any authors I haven’t reviewed yet that I absolutely must? Something you’d like me to revisit?

    Happy, blog birthday!! So exciting!! Your blog is a go-to source for great reading (the books AND your blog), and I love that I knew you “back when!” Here’s a topic no one seems to cover – How writing fanfiction can parley into writing Christian Fiction! 😉 It worked for me!

    Only four years? haha. I’d have said eight or nine! That’s because you do double the posts of anyone I know! Congratulations on all your successes and leading the way in so many new fun ways to promote Christian Fiction! I hope you’ve caught up on rest from CFRR! you are so loved!

    Standing ovation to you for 4 years and here’s to many, many more. Please, please, PLEASE snag Tamara Leigh for an interview. She is Fab.u.lous!!! As are all her medieval books. Your swooning lovin’ heart would explode and your Kissing Book Level would reach new heights.

    Fun aside: I stand in solidarity with you….I’m UNDER all the way in the over/under debate 🙂
