Blogoversary + Huge Announcement!


It's Jules and my 3rd blogoversary (technically, the actual blogoversary is on Friday, but whatever) and in celebration, we have a HUGE announcement that we've been waiting to tell you since December.

But first, I want to spend a little time reflecting on the past three years. I recently reread my first blogoversary post and I really liked how I did it, so I think I'm going to try and replicate that a bit.

~Popular posts~

Here's my top five all time posts, according to analytics:

5-Part Writing Special Aesthetics Party (for The Herbalist's War)

I just reread this post and man... I'd forgotten how much work I put into The Herbalist's War.

5-Part Writing Special//Part One: Meet the WIP

Again, forgot how much I love this story.

June Wrap-Up/July Goals

Not sure why this was one of my most popular, but okay (pretty sure it was a bunch of spammers, but we don't talk about them...).

The Movie Book Tag

Again, not sure about this one, but I ain't mad at it.

My First Ever Blog Post

I'm sure it's obvious to y'all why I went into writing, judging from the quality of that title.

~My thanks~

These past three years have been incredible! Like, I never realized just how much my life would change just by having a little corner of the internet. From getting to meet some of you in person at Realm Makers, to having you squeal about my stories, to seeing you reach new heights, it's all been one amazing journey. I'm so thankful to have you all along! I can't wait to see where we all go from here. 

So, thank you reader, for hanging with me, whether you've just joined in on the fun or you've been here from the beginning! You're all the best!

~Big Announcement!~

Some of you may have already figured this out, but in case you haven't, I'm here to tell you!

But you're going to have to work for it.

    1. Thanks so much!!!

      Yes, we do plan on having a few eARCs sent out as PDFs. We're planning on doing a sign-up for that around the time of the cover reveal, where the first people to sign up will get an eARC in exchange for an honest review. I'm not sure how many we're limiting it to yet, but I would suggest that you keep your eye out for the post so you can be one of the first. I can also send you an email when it goes live if you'd like, that way you don't miss it.

    2. Yes, I would greatly appreciate the email! I do receive post notifications via email, but they're always around 12 hours delayed for some reason.

    1. Honey, the party don't start until you walk in!! Or, rather, a Jem is never late. Nor is she early. She arrives precisely when she means to.

      RIGHT! It feels like just yesterday that I started! And yes!! We're really excited to share the cover. It's pretty lovely, if I do say so myself.
