4. Best event that you participated in (author signings, festivals, virtual events, memes, etc.)?
I met Mr. Feeny! Not only did I grow up watching Boy Meets World, but also Knight Rider. So I jumped at the chance to hear William Daniels talk about his career. The best surprise was that we got to meet him! It was an amazing night, but I really need to read his book...

I got to be involved this year with the #BerserkerStreetTeam to help promote Emmy Laybourne's new series Berserker. It was the first time I was able do something like this. Not only was it was a lot of fun, but the book was amazing! I'm excited to get my hands on the next part of the series!
6. Most challenging thing about blogging or your reading life this year?
That I need make enough to time to read in 2017. I left other things get in the way, which resulted in my physical TBR doubled this year. Something I plan on changing in 2018.

5. One Thing You Hope To Accomplish Or Do In Your Reading/Blogging Life In 2018?
My flatmate and I are taking a two month hiatus from our local library. Not because we've stopped loving it, but because our physical TBR's have grown to the point it's about to over take us. So for those two months we'll only be reading books we own. My hope (if my life doesn't spiral out of control) is track what I read through Bookish Whispers. I just need to figure out how.
