So I received the announcement of 201 followers the other day…and apparently, if you don’t take a screenshot of it right away…it disapppears! I was so disappointed.
So in order to celebrate, I had to take one from Google and crop it, since it doesn’t have my name on it.
Word to the wise: if you get the notification, screenshot it! Darn it!
To prove it’s really me, I took a pic on my Admin page here:
So now I’m at 204 followers on WordPress…I had papers to write so I couldn’t really celebrate.
But now is the time to celebrate! Whoo Hoo! πΎ π ππ»
I have to say I love you guys…sticking with me even if I can’t always post or I’m behind on responding to comments. I’ll always be your cheerleader, and thank you for being here!
And since this IS a book blog, I’m going to say thanks in a bookish way!
So…
And I do, too. So does the man in the yellow hat.
Happy Reading!
Congratulations on 200 followers π

Yeah, I know that familiar feeling…I went on my Goodreads app to update my profile and saw I had over 1,000 books on there! Crazy, right?!?
That’s why I started using Amazon for some of my TBR…my Goodreads list needs to be culled.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I’m probably very similar. Not all my books are even on my physical TBR list either, a lot are simply on the list in my head which is not advisable at all! I may have to start cutting a few out, books that have been on there so long I’m either no longer interested in them or never going to get around it.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Me too! I’m going to eventually go on Goodreads and start weeding through…I wouldn’t be surprised if there were doubles on there, bc books are listed separately for paperback, hardback, ebook, and Kindle book…so if I think I haven’t added a book, and I did but under a diff format, there’s ANOTHER book on this list.
I have 600 something on my TBR! Insane!
LikeLiked by 1 person
That is insane, I probably don’t have that many but I don’t have an exact number either because a lot of my to-read list is in my head. Still I know even if there are no doubles there are plenty of books that have been on there so long I’ll never pick up now!

Do we normally get a notification when we hit a certain number of posts? Or when we’ve been blogging for a set amount of time? (Beth is celebrating her year blogoversary). I only ask bc I feel like I might’ve missed some milestones!

Euhm I don’t know actually. A number of posts I don’t think so, and maybe we get a notification after a year? I’m not there yet so I don’t know. I’m only aware of a notification for the amount of followers and if your highest amount of views is surpassed.

I think it’s because I don’t post every day…but I’m cool with it bc I like to read your guys’ posts and the more followers I get and follow back, the harder it is. So I don’t follow back all the blogs that follow me: if it’s not about books (besides one or two early followers), then I tend to not follow back. I mean, if I follow them but don’t read their blog, what’s the point? You know?
