2012 Year in Review

2012 has definitely been a year of highs and lows for me. Even though I started this blog in 2011, it wasn't until this year that I realized how much I absolutely *love* blogging. The friendships I've made with fellow bloggers and authors have become so important to me. I'm certain that I will be a book blogger (if not more) for a very long time. I want my blogging career to expand exponentially.

On the low side, this year I've had to face the mortality of another fur child. In August Tara was diagnosed with some very serious illnesses, and to be perfectly honest, I'm surprised she's still with me. I cherish everyday we get to spend together. The interviews she has done with some fantastic fictional felines (Leo, Hamlet, and Snowflake) and her mini Tara's Thoughts reviews have been my favorite blog posts of the year.
