THE BEST OF 2012.

Where I get to recap my fruitful year and compile all the best ones I've read!

I can't believe that this year is almost over.

I've so much fun writing, reading, shopping for books and meeting bloggers and authors. My decision in focusing on book blogging has been fruitful and I know I've made the right choice. This year basically is my first in the book blogging community and I could say, somehow, I am already an accomplished blogger. Without all of your support, I would've failed. So thank you all, guys!

2012 is a year that would forever leave mark in my heart. It is the year I followed what my heart truly desired and that is THIS, writing and reading and I've never been any happier since then. It is truly a remarkable one and I wish more success to all of us this coming new year.

Before the year reaches its last page, I would just like to share the best 2012 had offered me.

I have so many things in my mind for 2013 and am keeping my hopes up that it will be the year for me not only for my blogging "career" (can't think of the right term meheheh) but for my personal growth as well!

THANK YOU, 2012 FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS. AND HELLO 2013, I AM OWNING YOU! ♥
