Word Spelunking Turns 4! {giveaway}

***IT'S MY 4TH BLOGIVERSARY***

Wow, I can't believe Word Spelunking is 4 years old today! Y'all, this year's blogiversary totally sneaked up on me...like, I didn't even realize it was already here until I happened to look at my calendar last night and realized how special today was.

So, four years?! When I started Word Spelunking four years ago, with some bookish dreams and a fangirl heart, I had NO idea how much this blog and the community I found would impact my life and mean so much to me. It's been an amazing and often surprising four years, filled with so much bookish awesomeness! I've read hundreds of wonderful books, worked with so many spectacular authors and publishers, started the fun March Middle Grade Madness, and met countless fellow booknerds. All of you (yes, YOU, reading this) make running this blog worth the time and effort. You make my little corner of the book world fun, inspiring, and fantabulous!

a zillion cupcakes to you all

TODAY WORD SPELUNKING IS

3 YEARS OLD!!!

woot woot 

*does happy celebration dance*

Part of me is like "it's REALLY been 3 years already?!" and the other part is all "wait, it's ONLY been 3 years?!". These last three years of bookish blogging have been awesome! I've read some incredible books, made some loverly blogging buds, met some fabulous authors/publishers/bookish people, and I even owe my current job to blogging...I guess blogging has been purdy good to me! And, while maintaining Word Spelunking isn't always easy or fun (that's when blog breaks come in handy!), I have loved every moment of it! I don't know if Word Spelunking will still be here three years from now, but I surely hope so.
