Happy 4th Blogoversary to Me!

Hi, guys!

I was going to sit quietly through it this year, but what the heck, right?

Usually I plan a full on whole week celebration but I just had very little time this year, although I promise to make up for it next year when we are five, alright?

Few things I'd like to say before getting to the giveaway...

First of all, 

THANK YOU,

everyone, who has been following this blog and reading my posts. I still feel like a small fish in a big pond of book blogging community, and reaching half a million views over the last 4 years is a fantastic achievement for me personally.

Secondly, 

I AM VERY HAPPY

to see how my tastes and preferences gradually shifted and expanded over the years. I remember starting exclusively with urban fantasy and paranormal romance, and look at the blog now. I am reviewing a big range of fantasy, contemporary and historical fiction.

Thirdly,

I AM GRATEFUL 

for all the authors who worked with me on previous occasions and came up with amazing stories in the process. I am especially proud of the blog's Christmas features in 2012 and 2014. Look them up if you missed out, I dare you! But for me they were amazing highlights of my life as a book reviewer.

At last, 
A BIRTHDAY WISH FOR MYSELF.
I'd love to move the blog from Blogger platform to something independent and wholly mine this year for a better reading and blogging experience. So if you have suggestions, let me know what platform I should use or whom I can hire to help me with the transfer.

Thank you for all your support and appreciation, 

huge hugs to all!
