While I was going through my Google Reader (which is a life saver), I came across a lot of posts looking back on 2009. So I decided to do my own post about 2009.
Let me just start by saying that 2009 was awesome! I really began connecting with the blogging and YA author community more this year and my blog changed so much.
Favorite Reviews:
The Good - I'm going to have to go with Brightly Woven. I had a lot of fun writing the review. My reviews for Beautiful Creatures and The Dark Divine were also a lot of fun to write.
The Bad - For a bad review, I sure had fun writing it. My review of The Forest of Hands and Teeth is a prime example of my ranting abilities. Like I said in the review, I really don't know what went wrong. Everyone seems to love the book and I still want to, I just can't seem to get into it.
Favorite Interviews:
Favorite Covers:
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Sea by Heidi R Kling
Authors I met:
Jen Calonita (Secrets of my Hollywood Life)
Jen was super sweet and funny. I'm so glad I was able to meet her - I love her books.
Sarah Dessen
Yeah, I was totally freaking out when they took this picture. So awesome!

Ally Carter (Gallagher Girls)
This was my second time meeting Ally Carter. She was so sweet and I learned many great tips from her about writing.
General Awesomeness:
- I hit (and broke) 200 followers! I never would've thought there'd be that many people interested in reading my blog. You guys are seriously awesome.
- I was quoted in the paperback version of Beautiful Americans by Lucy Silag.
- This isn't really blog related, but I finished writing the first draft of my novel today. :-)
New Year's Resolutions:
- Read more
- Review more
- Write more
- Twitter less
Happy New Year!
Great year for you, hope 2010 will be even better! And congrats on finishing first draft of novel! :]
