I can’t believe that it’s already been five years since I decided to start blogging! It really doesn’t feel that long but I’m glad that even though I often thought about giving up on it, I never did. Five years seems like such a big milestone to me and it motivates me to keep going (10 years Terri!!! ;D).
So a big thank you to those who keep reading my blog, even though I had my ups and downs and times of absence. Even after five years it still amazes me that people keep coming back. I cherish every single comment from you guys and I’m just SO very thankful! (for accepting my thanks, use code word pandalove down below! :P)
I wish I could tackle hug you all for real right now. Talking about books with you means the world to me and I’m incredible grateful for all the lovely people I got to know because of blogging.
As a thank you for following All About Books you can win one of the following three prices
The winner can pick any bookmark(s) currently available in my etsy shop or a custom design if possible.
The giveaway is open internationally!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum 5. Bloggeburtstag! Bei mir werden es im Oktober fünf Jahre und mir geht es wie dir – wo ist nur die Zeit geblieben? Ich wünsche dir weiterhin viel Spaß am Bloggen und bin neugierig wohin dein Weg noch führt und wie sich dein Blog weiter entwickeln wird :)
Liebe Grüße, Melanie
Crini
Wahnsinn oder? :D Finde es auch interessant wie extrem viele Blogger 2010 angefangen haben!
Melanie S.
Und vor allem wie viele von ihnen noch dabei sind! Nicht nur, dass es damals anscheinend eine richtig gute Zeit war um einen Blog zu beginnen, wir scheinen alle auch noch Durchhaltevermögen und so viel Spaß daran mitgenommen zu haben :)

Wow, I had no idea you’d been blogging for so long! Congratulations!! Have you always read/blogged in English, or did you start in German? I’m so glad I found your blog however many months back that was. :D
Crini
I was blogging in German for the first three years and then decided to switch (best decision ever!)

I am SO buying some right now. XD
