I’m in shock right now in a good way! Today I hit 1,000 followers on Instagram, and with my 100th post there, I am celebrating with a gift card giveaway open internationally! I know not everyone is on Instagram, but please check it out if you are. It was really important to me that I made it an international giveaway to thank all my followers who are truly my friends.
I came back over to WordPress and saw I hit 500 WordPress followers on the same day! This has to be some kind of good luck, and I will take it! So a double thanks to all of you for following me, liking, commenting, sharing, and being wonderfully supportive friends. In just four months (which another kooky thing is that I started this blog four months ago TODAY!), I have made many true friends I treasure near and far, and I look forward to making many more via our love of and for books! Happy reading and thank you again! Jennifer (feeling very gushy right now!)
