I can't started blogging four years ago this week! How time flies! It's been a fantastic four years and I hope this upcoming year is going to be just as successful. I've loved getting to know members of the book blogging community - we're a great bunch of people, if I do say so myself. I can't wait to see what the next year brings! Let's celebrate with virtual cake, virtual hugs, and, what you're all here for, a giveaway!
As a big thank you, I'm hosting a giveaway (US Only, sorry)! One lucky winner will get to choose one of my favorite 2018 debuts! You can choose from the books listed below (covers are linked to Goodreads):
This giveaway will last until Midnight (ET) on Wednesday, August 29th, 2018. I will alert the winner via email and they will have 48 hours to respond or I will have to select another winner. Good luck!
Wee, congrats Lauren! May you blog for many more years! ^__^

ReplyDeleteThere were so many great debut novels in 2018. :D I'm not sure I can even pick a favorite? I did really like The Astonishing Color of After, though, so we'll go with that one. :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary!!

I've been eyeing The Wicked Deep - it sounds exactly like something I'd love!
DeleteIt really does fly by!

ReplyDeleteWhat are your plans for the next 4 years? XD
Thanks, Jackie! It looks like it's working out that way... :D
DeleteWell, I hope to still be blogging at the least!
Happy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book by a debut author this year is probably a tie between The Kiss Quotient and Echoes.
Thanks! I haven't tried either of those - yet.
DeleteCongrats on 4 years!
ReplyDeleteNot to be redundant, but I love A Thousand Perfect Notes.
Thanks! I'm looking forward to picking it up.
DeleteI'm looking forward to reading The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn. We are a great community, I agree! Congratulations on your 4th Blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like it will be good, doesn't it.

ReplyDeleteI actually am unsure what my favorite 2018 debut would be. Maybe Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann? I am not sure how many debuts I've read this year!! However my favorite 2018 release is definitely Reign of the Fallen by Sarah Glenn Marsh
ReplyDeleteI haven't had the chance to read either of those yet but they both sound fantastic.
DeleteHappy Blogversary!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tizzy!
DeleteCongrats on 4 years! 🎉 Happy Blogversary! ♥️
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dani!
DeleteHappy Blogoversary! 4 years is wonderful. Oh gosh, I don't know how many debuts I've read this year - I need to read more. I really liked Bring Me Their Hearts - was that a debut? LOL
