1 Year Blogoversary & Giveaway!

This time last year, I stepped out of a movie, talked it over with my friends and went home, still unsatisfied. I'd been snooping around the web for a while, checking out other blogs but hadn't done anything for myself. So I sat down and did the one thing I'd been scared to do.

I created a blog.

I thought of the only theme that made sense to me-- Down The Rabbit Hole-- and decided I was going to talk about the things I loved most which were books and movies and writing and my cats.

I put my first post out there in the big wide web and waited with baited breath for... nothing. No one followed me and no one talked back. So I decided to roll up my sleeves and really get into this blog thing. I learned the ropes, all the technical stuff, how to gain followers, where to go for advice, what blogs to follow and somewhere along the way, I found out about the amazing community of the blogosphere.I found like minded individuals that were just as passionate about the things I loved as I was.

Fast forward to today and I can't believe how much something that started out so little has grown. I went from no book reviews to 78. No followers to almost 1600. From Blogspot to Shelfari to Goodreads and beyond. Two background changes and a million new blogs to follow! Big thanks to all of you who comment and who follow me. I can't express what your commitment and passion mean to me.

So to thank you even more, I'm giving some stuff away!
