Blogaversary the Second {+GIVEAWAY}


Hey guys! Yep, it's my second blogaversary!! Sometimes, I look back and can't believe it's already been TWO YEARS since I started this. I never really thought this would take off (as I had started blogs before and abandoned them) or that it would become such a huge and crucial part of my everyday life. I am so thankful for all the friends and connections I've met through blogging, and of course all the BOOKS I've discovered.

I know I set the bar pretty high with my huge event last year, but that just isn't happening this year. You may have seen me mention it before, but I've just been so tired this year. I definitely do not have the energy or time to do a big thing, as much as I want to. I've been dealing with a lot of things personally (especially health-wise, which is what's making me feel so tired and drained), and its shown in how quiet the blog has been these past few weeks. (I will be back soon! I just don't know how soon.) Anyway, I still want to celebrate, so I'm keeping the blind date with a book giveaway from last year! I'm also having Twitter and Instagram giveaways, so make sure to check those out!

So here's how this works. I give you clues as to what the book is about, how I felt, etc. You then have to decide if you would read the book based on the description I gave. If the answer is yes, then enter the giveaway! Each book has its own giveaway so you can enter just the ones you want, or all three! (For the tweet, you can tweet once and use that for all three rafflecopters for that day. I won't make you tweet the same thing three times a day.) 1 is US only, but the other two are INT. Once the winners have been notified, I will come back and reveal what each book is. Feel free to guess or discuss in the comments, I just won't tell you if you're right or wrong :)

Aaand the books have been revealed below! Did you guess correctly?

Book 1: This is a SIGNED paperback, an older release, US only
