Four Years and Counting

When I first started The Haunting of Orchid Forsythia four years ago today, I never once thought that I would reach this incredible milestone.
My mind is absolutely blown that I have managed to keep the blog alive and how much it has grown since I first started out. *does crazy dance*

Be sure to check out the three awesome authors that will be visiting this week on the blog. Here's a hint as to who will be stopping by: They are all authors of mid grade books that have been reviewed on the blog this year...late summer to more recently. I cannot wait to share their posts with y'all.

The Good Things About Blogging:

• Being able to share your thoughts with like minded people. Honestly who other than fellow book nerds is going to listen to me ramble on about the books I love and the ones that fall flat.
• Its so cool knowing about books before must people...and some times even having the chance to read them early always makes me smile.
• Sometimes getting that early read that makes you want to dance with joy because you've been thinking about it since you first heard about it.
• Realizing that there are actually people out there reading what you write and even leaving the occasional comment. Very cool.

The Bad Thing about Blogging:

• Sometime you just want to runaway and hide from your emails. *tell me I'm not the only one*
• Little too much drama sometimes for my taste. Pretty sure I don't need to elaberate on this.
• Some many great books that one wants to read, but finding the time to do so can be nearly impossible when life is busy.
