Four years ago I started this blog for my professional development at work and I am so glad I stuck with it. Books are my passion; otherwise, I don't think I would have been able to stick with this blog through the ups and downs of my life these past four years.
I also am so thankful to have met so many bookish friends through my blog, awesome people in publishing/marketing, and more importantly, those of you who are reading this post. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sticking with me.
I have seen so many book blogs come and go these past four years. I can honestly say that four years later, I am still excited to write reviews, read comments, and simply gush over books with all of you.
Some fun facts about Confessions of a Book Addict:
These past four years I have written over 350 reviews, over 1,030 posts, read over 380 books, and tried my hand at NaNoWriMo three times. (I finally won this year!)
Traveling is also a huge passion of mine. These past four years, I have traveled to Key West (twice!), Ireland, Italy, Outer Banks, Jamaica (twice!), Sanibel Island, and of course, the shore!
Lastly, my top five most popular posts of all time are:
*Book Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth
*2012 Beach Reads and Summer Reading List
*Book Review: We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han
*2011 Beach Reads and Summer Reading List
*Book Review: The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen
