The Reader's Den Two Year Blogoversary!



Hi everyone! Today marks two years since I first started The Readers Den. I never would have thought that I would have made it this far, but thanks to a wonderful co-blogger in Rachel and all your lovely comments and support The Readers Den has made it this far and honestly I can't thank you all enough!

The last year has been truly amazing, I got to go to my first author events with Rachel Caine, Sarah J Maas, Samantha Shannon, Leila Sales and Sarra Manning. I got to meet me co-blogger Rachel on our first year blogoversary (what are the chances of that) and one of my all time favourite authors Meg Cabot started following me on Twitter. And of course I got to make some of the best blogging friends ever, who make my day with their lovely comments (when I'm being the laziest blogger ever). 

 There are so many of you who Rachel and I have enjoyed getting to know and visiting your blogs everyday, so thank you to Sam from Realm of Fiction, Maja from The Nocturnal Library, Siiri from Little Pieces of Imagination, Nick from Nick's Book Blog, Keertana from Ivy Book Bindings, Jenny from Supernatural Snark, Melissa from I Swim for Oceans, Summer from Blue Sky Bookshelf, Jess from Jess Hearts Books, Aman from Enticed by Books, Joy from Joyous Reads, Lauren from Love is Not a Triangle, Giselle & Jenni from Xpresso Reads, Melanie from YA Midnight Reads, Wendy from The Midnight Garden, Tanja & Glass from Ja Citam, a ti?, Mary from The Book Swarm, Shirley from Shiirleyy's Bookshelf, Sara from Forever 17 Books, Heidi from Rainy Day Ramblings and Andrea from The Bookish Babe, Henrietta from Leisure Reads (sorry if I've forgotten anyone!)
So to celebrate we're going to have two winners who can choose from our most anticipated reads of this year. Rachel and I have shared six books we're most excited for and one winner will be chosen from each of our picks. The giveaway will be open internationally as long as The Book Depository ships to you, a list of full countries can be found here. You can enter by filling out whichever rafflecopter form the book you're most anticipating falls into or both. Good Luck! (There are two options to leave comments in each rafflecopter form, but leaving one is fine, for both entries)
