I can’t believe it’s been an entire year since I started my journey as an author and a reviewer!
It’s strange. It feels like no time has passed, and yet, it feels like I’ve been doing this forever!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the past twelve months. I’ve met a lot of amazing people and been exposed to so many amazing books I never would have found otherwise.
To celebrate my first year on Bookstagram, I’d like to post my year in review. With stats! 😏 C’mon, you couldn’t have thought that I wasn’t keeping track of everything! Any opportunity for a spreadsheet? I’m there!
Note: There are going to be some books redacted from the list (though, the important information like rating, page count, etc. will still be included). This is because I have no intention of being negative toward someone’s work — even if I didn’t enjoy it.
