Hey Guys!
It is hard to believe that 2011 is already over! I started this blog in February of this year and it has been a crazy, amazing, fulfilling and enlightening journey. I could not have done it without you guys and the amazing book blogging community out there. So in this post I wanted to thank you for sticking through me with everything! Thank you so much for taking the time to follow and interact with Book Briefs and with me. Everytime I get a comment/email/tweet, a smile lights up my face. It means the world to me to hear what you guys have to say and to talk to you. I still feel like a newbie in the blogging community sometimes, and interacting with you guys makes me so happy. So in this post I have lots of things for you guys.
- Book/blogging stats for this year
- 2012 bookish resolutions
- Blog Tour hosting recognition
Blog Stats!

- 1,512 comments
- 34,616 page views
- 1,145 followers! (I still can’t believe it)
- read 152 books
- posted 96 reviews (you can see my reviews here)
2012 Resolutions:

- Read 175 books
- Post 125 reviews on my blog
- Complete ALL of my 2012 reading challenges. (i’ve signed up for 13 including this one and I am thinking I want to make it an even 14 so let me know what other one I should sign up for! Here is my challenge list!
- Comment on other blogs more. I subscribe to hundreds of blogs through email and I read ALL of their posts, but that takes a lot of time, and I don’t comment nearly as much as I should. I keep thinking, “wow I love that blog so much, but the owner doesn’t even know because I am not a regular commenter” Well that is , hopefully, about to change!
- Finish my TBR review list from 2011. I have too many books to read. I know, know, that is a total Book-Blogger-problem. AKA not a problem at all, but I do. and I would like to get this list down a bit.
- Read books that I have bought myself, not just review books.
- Kick butt at my externship. I am going to be a law clerk for a judge in Circuit Court, and I am more than a little nervous to be thrown into the fray.
- Find a summer associate’s job- bonus points if it is with an estate planning firm. (so if you know any attorney’s looking for a summer associate- throw them my way. I have a pretty CV for them :). Just kidding…kind of.)
- Keep organized.(in every aspect of my life)
Blog Tour Talk:
