And I've met so many wonderful and supportive bloggers along the way, I am so grateful to all the people I have got to know through this blog. 

So now it's time to give back with a literal giveaway. I'm giving away £25 (or whatever that amounts to in the currency of the country you live in) to spend at The Book Depository. So as long as they ship to you, you can enter-yey!

My 4 Year Blogiversary

Happy Friday! And a very happy four year blogiversary to me! Yes I have been blogging on this site for 4 years today... My very first welcome to my blog post went up on 17th March and then my first review-The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris by Jenny Colgan-went up the day after that-aww happy days!

To celebrate my blogiversary I just wanted to let you know about a few changes that I have been making to the blog and Fabulous Book Fiend in general to mark this occasion.

You may have noticed that I have updated the layout a little, given it a little spruce. I did consider changing the name slightly as well and would therefore have gone with a complete re-brand but I did a pole on Twitter, the best things are decided that way I find, and people like the name so the same brand is sticking BUT some of the eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed a little change when I post links and things...this site is now officially...

www.fabulousbookfiend.com

How cool is that? The site was actually a valentines present from my lovely husband and I decided I would officially announce it right here on this date!

You may also have noticed me sharing lots of videos recently too. Now that I have a little time on my hands I am trying to post videos regularly on my YouTube channel, so if you haven't already subscribed to that then head on over and check that out.

I'm also trying much harder with Instagram. I love posting pictures of what I am reading on there and you can expect my feed to be full of books and coffee because those things are just my favourite! You can find me HERE!

And if you are ever wondering where I am when I'm not on Twitter, it'll be because I am out and about exploring this country that I now live in and so you can usually catch up with what I am up to on my Snapchat so if you aren't already linked with me on there then feel free! I am SHOEFEIND on there-I know it is the wrong spelling but the right spelling wasn't available, c'est la vie!

I feel like last year's blogiversary just passed by in a blur, I was so busy with other things and that's ok because I loved moving forwards in my career but I also love the fact that I have had more time to put the work into this site, discover some amazing books and sharing my enthusiastic teaching style with you on my YouTube channel.

If you've been with me from the beginning then thank you from the bottom of my heart, a big shout out to those bloggers and publishers, you know who you are! And if you're new here then welcome! It is so lovely to have you. Please do leave me a comment letting me know some of your favourite posts and moments from the past few years and it would be lovely to connect with you on here, on YouTube, on Twitter, on Instagram or on Snapchat!

Happy Reading!
