Hey there guys!!
I can’t believe it has already been two years (on 2nd March actually)! I have been actually been blogging for two freaking whole years and I looove it so much! It wouldn’t have been possible without you guys.
Blogging has taught me so much. Here are just a few reasons why I love blogging so much-
- I finally feel like I belong somewhere. Before I started blogging I barely had anyone to talk to or fangirl about books but now I have you guys. I love sharing my opinions and listening to what you guys have to say.
- I had never been a voracious reader, I don’t think I even crossed 10 books a year but that also changed, it’s always more than 100 now! 😀
- I expanded my reading horizons. I stepped outside my comfort level and tried reading books from various genres, loved some, hated some but they were definitely an experience I would never forget.
- Writing reviews, discussion posts makes me feel so satisfied and at a kind of peace. Do you guys feel the same way?
- I also found out about about NaNoWriMo while I was blogging which inspired me and challenged me to take my writing seriously.
- Lastly, this blogging community is epic! I don’t know where I would be without you guys. So, as a token of my appreciation, I have organised a giveaway! Yup! (And it’s also opened internationally!)

Congratulations, Poulami!! ❤ I seriously cannot believe it's been that long since we both first met. o.O And I love the positive aspects that you shared about blogging; I so agree with you especially on the ones about finding your niche and meeting amazing people. I hope that those two things never changes for the both of us. 🙂

Congrats on two years! It feels like you’ve been around longer than that (in a good way of course!). Here’s to many more 🙂
Some New Adult/Contemporary recommendations: I think you’ll love any New Adult title by Jamie Howard (my fave is Until It’s Right but her Love Unplugged Series is also great). Colleen Hoover’s November 9. And Katie McGarry’s Pushing the Limits.

Happy two year blogiversary Poulami! Mine’s on 15 March! I haven’t done a giveaway on my first blogiversary because of the pricey shipping costs from India but I really like your idea of INTL ebook giveaway.

Yes, I so understand that. That's why e-books until I get a job, then things might change. 🙂

Also, to enter your giveaway and recommend you three books, I’d go with contemporary (you know me…:P) and I’d say the two Alice Oseman books, Solitaire and Radio Silence are awesome, both with very realistic teenager characters and amazing stories about friendship ❤ And Seven Ways We Lie, by Riley Redgate, a story told from so many different point of view, yet all characters had their own voice and I loved it!
