Since I started blogging!

So I've had my own blog for a couple of weeks now and already have 40 followers. I was so happy at 10, then 20 and now 40 is just fantastic. I'd just like to take a minute to thank everyone for stopping by and having a look but especially Rhiana Reads... and Chick Lit Reviews for giving me tips about starting up.

Even though I have only been doing this for a short time, this blog has already had a redesign but I'm much happier with the look now. Same colour scheme etc but a bit more snazzy!

I have been lucky enough to recieve 'The Versatile Blogger' award from Book Snob, The Books Of My Life and The Book Bluff. A big thanks to these guys for giving me this award.

The Rules for the award are:

1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award
2. Share 7 things about yourself
3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason! (In no particular order...)
4. Contact the bloggers you've picked and let them know about the award.
