The Mod Podge Bookshelf is two years old today!
Wow.
That's the age of a toddler.
I've managed to raise a toddler and not let it choke, or eat mud, or break an arm!
Wow.
I am so honored to work with such a wonderful crew of bloggers and authors and to write for such brilliant readers!
The encouragement you all provide me is astounding. Truly. I would not have made it this far without y'alls Tweets, FB comments, E-mails and Youtube comments.
In the past year I have finished two novels, have queried those two novels and have begun hosting blog tours here on MPB.
Also, MPB has a new look, and will continue to primp in the coming weeks!
I've taken part in Change Write Now, meeting a few of my new favorite people, Pam from Bookalicious, Sarah, & CJ!
I've been able to support a new class of Debut Authors, the class of 2K12 and am excited that at least two of my friends will be a part of the debut class of 2K13!
I've made new friends! Both of my Kelsey's, of Reading or Breathing, and of Kelsey Sutton, my Cindy, of Books Complete Me, and my Miranda, of Just Read Books, are wonderful crit and support partners!
Grace, from Words Like Silver, reminds me of how much has changed in the few years that separate us.
Amber, from Pageturners, Kristi, from The Story Siren, Katie, from MundieMoms, Andye, from ReadingTeen, Amy, also from ReadingTeen, Tara, from Hobbitsies, and Yara, from Once Upon a Twilight, continue to be stalwart supporters of MPB!
If I tried to list the authors who have honored me with their support, their kind words and their faith this year I would inevitably leave someone out, so I'll just say thanks to you all, but especially to Kat Rosenfield, who trusted me with her very first blog tour when it would be mine, as well!
And lastly, my readers! Oh, my readers. <3
Whether you lurk behind the scenes, are consistent tweeters and commenters or are friends who so lovingly read MPB to point out my grammatical errors, I adore you and if I could I would give you all a fresh-baked cookie. Though it would not be from my oven. Because eating a cookie I baked wouldn't be a gift, that would be an insult.
FINALLY! A GIVEAWAY!
Because of current family situations I was not up for hosting 2,000 Mod Podge Books this go around, but I am giving away two of the most highly-anticipated books of the year!
A finished copy of The Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas and an ARC of Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry!
All you have to do is fill out the rafflecopter below and I will announce the winner at some point. If you've been reading this blog for two years, you know I tend to fail at announcing winners "on time." Needless to say the giveaway will be up for a while.
Thanks for all the good.

Happy blogoversary! I think I've been following you for over a year now, which seems crazy to me because it definitely doesn't feel that long. :)
Thanks for the awesome giveaway. I really want to read Throne of Glass. New follower to MPB and can't wait to see all the posts you write. First Time Reader. =]
For a couple of months. THanks for the giveaway :D
I'm not sure exactely when I started reading MPB but I think around a year.
Congrats on the 2 years, just started following MPB. Looking foward to being part of the group for years to come :)
Congratulations, girl!! You are one BUSY person (and successful, I might add)!
Not really sure, but I'm a long time follower so I'd guess close to two years <3

Probably close to a year and a half. I'm not sure but it was right after I discovered book blogs and became addicted to them.
Congrats on 2 years! Wishing you many, many more!
I've been a follower of MPB for about a year. I love your reviews. Even though they are usually much shorter now, I find them as valuable as ever.
Happy second blogoversary!
I am not really sure how long maybe a year in a half.
Congrats!! I've been reading for about a year and a half :D
Shamelessly, I congratulate you on two years of steady work and perseverance. There have been days that have been hard to breathe, much less write. I am proud to call you my daughter and friend, and am so glad we read about Ms. Potter's bunnies the first day home from the hospital. I know you were listening! Love, Mom
im NEW!!
I'm not sure how long I've been following but maybe 18 months? That sounds about right.
You've done way more in your two years than keep your "toddler" from eating dirt. Congrats on the querying and blog reno!
Happy blogoversary!!! I can't believe time flies!!! :) I've been around for about a year now, I think! I adore your IMM vlogs! ;-) Keep it up!
I'd say 18 months.
Happy Blogoversary! And i think a year or 11 months. One of the two. :D
Happy Blogoversary :D To be honest, I've only been reading your blog for about a month. Love this blog though!
Awesome giveaway! And happy Blogoversary! I've been following you for around a year... yep, that long :)
I haven't been keeping track, but my best guest would be about 5 months.
Just a new follower but Happy Blogoversary!
I discovered MPB a little bit after I discovered the whole book blogging world and I have been getting the emails and visiting the blog since then. That was (this is a guess cuz there is no way I could actually remember!) about 6 months ago (ish!) I love your occasional vlogs and your thots and lots of other things! Your blog is unique and I do very much enjoy it ;) Happy blogoversary!
I have no idea when I started following this blog, but it's been awhile.
I just arrived a couple of weeks ago when you started hosting the Pushing the Limits Tour but I'm very glad to be here. Congratulations on the Blogoversary!
Oh wow that's a really good question. I started following a long while ago through email which is easier so I never miss anything. Happy Blogoversary I was thinking the same thing that it's the age of a toddler. That's funny lol. Thank you for this giveaway with two books I so need to read.
Happy Blogoversary! :) I've been a follower for over a year now. :)

Congratulations on your Blogaversary.
Happy blogoversary! CONGRATS! And, I've been following your blog for a couple of months.
Happy blogoversary! CONGRATS!!!
And, I've been following your blog for a couple months.
Well due to a series I events I had to change my email address and re-follow all my blogs. So originally about a year but with my new address only a few months.
Cheers to 2 years! I have been a follower for a few months so far!
Thanks,
Leanne

I JUST discovered it and I'm kicking myself that I haven't discovered it sooner. I am now a follower so I can read more often!
I've only just found MPB when I started searching for Blog Tours not long ago! I'm so glad I found your site! Such great content!
I'm really new to the blogging community so I haven't been following that long about...6 months?
I haven't been with the family for that long. Probably only 1 month :P. It's still a really amazing blog and I can't wait to see how it'll grow.
I guess for a couple of months :)
Happy Blogoversary! And thanks for the giveaway!
I want to say like a year but I couldn't say for sure but it seems like I've been following you like as long as I've been blogging. You're just so awesome. :]
Congrats on your Blogoversary!
I'm a newer follower - maybe a month or so? I can't tell.
So I think I have been reading your blog for about 6 months or so!!!!
