Hello, friends! It's my Blogiversary! Woohoo! {{throws confetti}}Six years ago today I started this blog. I had no idea what I was doing. I was just playing around on Blogger to see what it was all about, and to see if I could make a blog page that looked like some of my favorite bloggers. I gave no thought to my blog name. I remember laughing at myself as I was setting it up, thinking I have no time for this, so I wrote "So little time..." for the title. And here I am six years later still plugging away!
I found a direction and started posting reviews quite regularly. Sadly, that has fallen by the wayside. Posting one review a week burned me out. Plus, life, in general, got busier. I still have hopes of starting that up again. This should be my last year homeschooling, and, fingers crossed, I will have more time next year!
This is the first year I have celebrated my blogiversary! Usually, I'm too busy with the start of school to even think about it! Lol! This year I have some books I need to give away and thought, this would be a good time to celebrate!
So, let's get the party started! My shelves are overflowing with books, and I sadly need to thin them out. There are few I had doubles of! Plus, a dear friend gave me the set of Pamela Aidan books that she wanted to find a good home for. Lucky you!!
* * * GIVEAWAY * * *
I have 6 books and 1 set of books (counted as one book) - totaling 7 gently used books to give away.

Thank you, DarcyBennett! Lol, sometimes I wish I had given more thought to my name, but it is how I feel most of the time! :) Good luck in the giveaway!
DeleteHappiest of anniversaries, Candy. While I realize how hectic life can be, I have missed your reviews. So I hope you are able to get back to them soon. IN the meantime, happy reading and blogging!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joy! I hope I can get back into them soon too! I had high hopes over the summer, but the summer turned out busier than I expected. Happy reading and writing to you! :D
DeleteHi Candy, happy blog birthday! Your blog was one of the first ones I found after I discovered JAFF. I hope you manage to get back to reviewing at some point. The problem is that there is just 'so little time' ;)
ReplyDeleteHi, Ceri! Thank you! That's so cool! I was pretty active back then. Lol! Yes, that is the problem - so little time! I hope to get back at it someday! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteAnother fun giveaway. i would like to be entered in the drawing for Pemberley Ranch and Haunting Mr. Darcy. I own eBooks and gave away my hard copies but wouldn't mind having them again. Thanks for your generosity! Jen Red jenred(@)yahoo(.)com Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jen! That was nice of you to give away your hard copies, but I know what you mean. I love being able to look at all my books on the shelf. You can't do that with eBooks. Good luck in the giveaway! Thanks!
DeleteCongratulations, Candy, and happy blogiversary! <3
ReplyDelete(I'm not eligible for the draw, but good luck to all the participants!)
Thank you, Cassandra! I'm so happy you stopped by!
DeleteOh my, happy anniversary! What a generous giveaway, many of the books I've never read. Wish I lived in the US now!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Priscilla! Oh, dear! I wish I could afford to offer books to everyone! So sorry! Thanks so much for helping me celebrate, and I hope you get a chance to read the ones you haven't read yet!
DeleteHappy Anniversary, Candy! You have done so well in such a short time. :) I think I have all the books, either kindle or hard-copy, so don't put me in the drawing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brenda! Ok, great! Such good books, aren't they?! Thanks so much for helping me celebrate!
Deletecongratulations :) :) :) :)

DeleteThanks, PailofPearls! Good luck in the giveaway!
DeleteYay for you, Candy! Six years is a grand old blog. Wishing you many more to come and the time to read again and put up reviews.
ReplyDeleteNeat how you came to blogging. I didn't know your story so glad you shared it.
Shelf-cleaning... I need to do that, but here I am crossing my fingers for a chance to win either of Elizabeth Euberg's books Prom & Prejudice or Better Off Friends

Thank you, Sophia Rose! I can't believe it's been six years! There were times it was hard to keep up with, especially when I was posting reviews regularly. I think my family got tired of hearing me say, "I can't..., I have a deadline!!" or "I need to work on my blog!" ;)
DeleteMost of the books I'm giving away are doubles. It's hard to give books like these to Goodwill or a used book store. I want to make sure they'll go to a home that will love them! :) Best of luck in the giveaway!
Congratulations!!! I would love to be entered for Pemberley Ranch
ReplyDeleteThank you, Meg! I'm glad you stopped by! Good luck in the giveaway!

DeleteHappy Blogiversary, Candy! 6 years of blogging is major! Congrats! It has been so much fun being blogging buds with you! ;) So glad you started to blogging. :) Here's to many more years!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Meredith! I love being blogging buddies with you! I hope we'll get to meet in person again very soon! Thanks for always being there when I have a question. :)
DeleteCandy, Happy Bloiversay! Six years is impressive (especially when one has children). If I'm not too late, please enter me for the Fitzwilliam Darcy trilogy or any of the Austenesque books with thanks. Such a nice gesture to celebrate by giving. Twitter: @marycmphil
