It’s My Two Year Blogiversary! | Win One of my Favourite Books
Holy. Moly. Can you even believe that two years ago, I sat down and created this blog? Because, seriously, I can’t. I’ve had so many blogs over the past maybe like ten years. I blogged on them for about a month or two and then “gave up” and I was always hoping I wouldn’t quit Books & Babbles too soon but I never expected to still be blogging two years later. It’s insane! I’ve thought it would be fun to look back on the past year or so. And to celebrate, I decided to host a fun little bookish giveaway!
If feels so crazy that I’ve been blogging for two years now. I’ve learned so much from blogging and I’ve gotten so many wonderful opportunies to work with other people. I’ve started projects like the International Bookworms meme, reviewed a whole lot of books, took part in some blog tours… Basically, this past year (and the year before that) were really. freaking. awesome. I still struggle a bit truely connecting with the community (social anxiety and all) but I’ve met so many incredible bookish/blogger friends and I’m so, so lucky to have met them all.
I’m so grateful for everyone who’s ever been on my blog. From the people who read everything and comment, to those who reach out on Twitter or Instagram, and even those who maybe once read a piece of something that I wrote on here and then left. You all remind me that blogging isn’t actually as lonely as I sometimes feel like it is. And without you guys, I would’ve been long gone before reaching this point. So, to thank you all I’ve decided to host a little giveaway. Also, I’ll be doing a Q&A video at the end of the month about books, blogging and life! It’s part of the Rafflecopter, but you can leave your question(s) in the comments down below as well.
Giveaway Time!
Last year, I hosted a giveaway to celebrate my first blogiversary, and it only feels right to do another one this year! I’ve made a selection of my favourite books I read in the past year and absolutely loved or that I’m really excited about! One lucky bookworm will win their book of choice and I’ll send it through Book Depository, so as long as they ship to you, you’re able to enter! The giveaway ends May 31st. I’ll pick a winner in the first week of June! Please don’t forget to read this disclaimer down below to avoid any confusion/misunderstandings.
May the odds be ever in your favour… And don’t forget to leave a question for my Q&A video! Also: What book would you choose if you won?
Disclaimer: The giveaway runs from May 1st till May 21st. You can enter through the Rafflecopter in this blog post. The only “requirement” is that you follow me on Twitter. When the giveaway ends, I’ll choose one winner who gets to choose a book from my selection. The winner will receive a paperback copy, unless the only available edition is a hardback. Since I’ll be sending the book through Book Depository, you’ll need to live in a country that ships there.

Yay, first of all congratulations <3 I love your blog! You've chosen so many great books to give away, but I would choose Ace of Shades or Before She Ignites, you made me really curious and excited for those two books and I absolutely cannot wait to read them, and I do not hear a lot about Before She Ignites so that makes me extra curious.

Happy two year blogiversary! I really don’t know what book I would choose. I’m leaning more towards Ace of Shades but I also really want To Kill a Kingdom, The Hazel Wood and Children of Blood and Bone. I’ve heard amazing things about them all. <3
