The other day I was preparing posts on the blog, and I noticed that I was doing my 500th post....
Then I was on facebook, where I spend all of my free time, which is nonexistent really, and noticed that I was almost at 2k likes. WHOAAA! When did that happen?
So, I figured a giveaway was in order since I have sooo many awesome followers!!
But first, I have to thank all of my reviewers who have contributed to MSR over the past year. I sure as hell wouldn't have gotten this far if it wasn't for them!! Not only are they a big help with the blog, but I've developed such wonderful friendships with them as well. I adore them so much. I hope one day I can meet each of the girls- Lee Anne, Janna, Nadine, Amanda, Sophie, Alyssa, Crystal, Bridget, Nicoleta, Jovana and Buffy.
I also need to thank the ladies who were there to help me along the way when I first started blogging too, Without them, I wouldn't have never made it this far either. They were there to show me the ropes, take me under their wings and answer all the questions I had- which were a lot. I probably drove them nuts, but I don't care because I made great friendships with them too. Maria @The Queen of All She Reads, Francesca @Under the Covers, Dawn @Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews, Kelly @Books-N-Kisses and Leagh @Romane Book Craze. <3
Most of you don't know this, but I almost gave up blogging this past year. If it wasn't for the Dawn, Maria, Francesca, Leagh and Kelly, I would have stopped. I broke down one day and they were there to talk to me. Again, I have them to thank. xoxox
I recently had my blog revamped. I FREAKING LOVE IT! Tabby @Insightful Minds created it for me. What a Saint that woman is. Bless her heart and the patience she had with me and creating the page. I'm sure she wanted to strangle me by the time it was over. :D
Bloggers. I have met some pretty amazing bloggers along the way and I am so grateful to have. Each one of them is like a piece to the puzzle of my life. I can't believe a because of a book, that I have so many wonderful people in my life now.
Ok, enough witht he sappy shit, let's get down to business!
I'm starting something new here on MSR!! Every two weeks, I will be giving away a book to a review I post here. It can be of any book to any review, but here's the catch- you need to be an active follower. You don't have to post comments everyday, but active enough on the blog. If I start to get a lot of active followers, I will start it every week. :) I'm not sure what to call it though....
I'm also starting a Jerk of My Dreams weekly post. I can't tell you how many people comment about that shelf of mine on Godreads! So I thought a post like this would be fun to do! I think I am starting it on Friday...but here's a look at my picture that my reviewer, Bridget, made.
I know, I know...I'M DYING TOO.
Ok so for the giveaway. Finally!
There will be 9 winner's. This is a US only giveaway- sorry!

Congrats on your success! I'm so glad you didn't give up on your blog, because I would of never found all the great recommendations and authors if it wasn't for yours as well as other bloggers! I know there are times I feel like giving up or there are times when I get into a slump over books/blogging, that's when I take a mini break and rejuvenate!
