My Second Blog Anniversary!

Today marks the second year anniversary of my blog! It is hard to believe that time has gone so quickly! Not very long ago, it seems I wrote my first review of The Queen's Vow by C.W. Gortner, and now I have reviewed over one hundred books! I want to thank each and every faithful reader of this blog. I also want to thank the book blogging community for their support on this site. I hope that through my reviews I have introduced you to some great women in history both fiction and nonfiction. Also, thank you to the authors, publishers, and marketing specialists, for their contributions that they have made to this blog. I look forward to many more reviews and other special features in the coming year! This has been a great journey for me as I continue to learn and grow!
