1. New favorite book blog you discovered in 2016?
2016 was generally not a good year for me in terms of following people and being active, I’m sure I found amazing blogs in the first half of the year, but I honestly don’t remember… Ooops. I think I did start following Cait @Paper Fury in 2016 though, so I’m going with that.
2. Favorite review that you wrote in 2016?
Again… WOW. Guys, do you know that I wrote over 210 reviews on my blog during the year of 2016?! That’s too many for me to remember… I’ll leave 2 very different ones here:
3. Best discussion/non-review post you had on your blog?
I’ve written a few posts that fit this, but again, I’m leaving a few here:
- LET’S TALK ABOUT: PROBLEMS OF BEING AN INTERNATIONAL READER & BLOGGER… ACCESS TO BOOKS
- LET’S TALK ABOUT: PROBLEMS OF BEING AN INTERNATIONAL READER & BLOGGER… ARCS
- EURO 2016: PORTUGAL, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
4. Best event that you participated in (author signings, festivals, virtual events, memes, etc.)?
I did a couple of blog tours, but I’m not gonna count them… so, nothing?!
5. Best moment of bookish/blogging life in 2016?
I guess reaching 1000 wordpress followers and hosting my first giveaway.
6. Most challenging thing about blogging or your reading life this year?
I’ve read a lot this year, but my blogging kind of fell a bit. I still posted almost everyday, multiple times really, but my time and patience reduced a bit, so I had a lot of problems in blog hopping and keep up to date with other people’s blogs.
7. Most Popular Post This Year On Your Blog (whether it be by comments or views)?
8. Post You Wished Got A Little More Love?
9. Best bookish discover (book related sites, book stores, etc.)?
Nothing! Damn… eheh.
10. Did you complete any reading challenges or goals that you had set for yourself at the beginning of this year?
YES! I upped my goodreads challenge a couple of times during the year, but I managed to read even more than I marked the last time, so I’m happy. However I did not finish the PopSugar Reading Challenge, because I decided to read whatever I wanted and that challenge was not a good fit for me.
