It's our ONE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY!

Once upon a time, Meg, Elizabeth, Geanna and I started this blog :) We'd been twitter friends for a year, discussing YA books with each other plus a bunch of other vegans. When I joined a reading and reviewing challenge I realised I wanted somewhere to post my reviews, other than Goodreads. I'd already started following bloggers like Magan, Estelle, and Jana and they inspired me, so I put it to the girls and we blogged happily ever after!

Over the year we've posted heaps of reviews, hosted giveaways, participated in blog tours, and made a bunch of friends. BIG thanks to all of our followers, to the publishers and to the authors for writing such amazing books. Here's to another fantastic year of YA fiction!

To celebrate we have a giveaway!! Simmone Howell was kind enough to send me an audio book of Everything Beautiful - a wonderful Aussie YA contemporary novel. This giveaway is open internationally - hooray!

*Cats not included!
