The Year In Review (2012) with G!veaway
WOW! 2012 is just about over and we are getting ready to ring int the New Year here at Chapter by Chapter!
2012 has been an amazing for us.
We’ve come to know even more amazing fellow book bloggers, and have read so many amazing books, it’s ridiculous!
Be sure to enter the giveaway found at the end of the post!
We blew our Goodreads Reading Challenge out of the water!
We almost doubled our goal. Insane. We’re gonna have to amp up our goal for 2013!
We posted a total of 594 posts! Craziness…
With December being the busiest month in posts with a whopping 71 posts (including this one).
We participated in a crazy amount of Blog Tours and Book Blitzs and Promo Stops that it was getting insane.
For 2013, we’re going to cut back a bit on that and rather than agree to do every tour thrown our way, we’re going to pick and choose the ones that we are really interested in reading.
We were also so lucky to read some pretty awesome books! ARCS, finished copies, and e-books!
Gabby’s Favorite reads of 2012:

MaryAnn’s favorites of 2012:
(Click on cover for Goodreads links)
All in all, a pretty fab year, and we can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store for us!
We look forward to the new year and hope that the 2013 is a great year for you in life, love, and books!
Happy New Year everyone!
- Love MaryAnn and Gabby
