Half-year mark!

We're halfway through the year 2010 (wow did that go fast or what!) and almost one year since I've been reviewing (September 1st is my starting date). WOOT! May or may not do a blogoversary since I don't really have any money to mail prizes… idk. I might do something. Maybe a swag giveaway or something handmade, since it's lighter to mail a handknit than it is to mail a pile of ARC's a mile high. (which, when looking at my room, it feels like I have a mile high of them… what to do!)

Here's the update/wrap-up-ish thing.

New Award from "Lovin' and Livin' Life in the 808:

So there's my halfway through the year update…no I'm not linking every single review right now. I'll worry about working on my year-wrap-up during my long dull boring Christmas break this winter ;)

Suffice to say the year is going well.

and you? how have my wonderful readers been? ;)
