Blogiversary: Favourite Posts!

My first month of blogging resulted in 10 posts! Mostly Top Ten Tuesdays and reviews! I thought I would showcase a few of my favourites which turned out to be the majority of the ten posts...

 

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

My very first review, which I later rated five hearts, is still one of my favourite reviews and it includes a recommendation.

 

Monday! What are you reading?

My first meme! I was reading the Hunger Games Trilogy and looking forward to Second Chance Summer and I Heart London.

 

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Another five star review for my first dystopia read!

 

The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove by Lauren Kate

I love the style of review for this Macbeth retelling.

 

Top Ten Tuesday!

My first TTT post which happened to be the Summer TBR edition. I have in fact read all the books on my list now!

 

Top Ten Tuesday: Travel

My travel top ten~ I didn't end up visiting the majority of thee places but they are still high on my visit list!

 

I really enjoyed looking back at my first blogging month and I think I might do an updated Travel post!

One Year Blogiversary!

 
It is exactly a year to the day that Above Average Below Special became a Book Blog!
 

One Year in Numbers

Books Read= 99.

Reviews Posted= 55.

Total Posts= 169.

5 Heart Reviews= 8.

 
I honestly didn't know whether I'd make it to a year when I post my first post last year!
I'd tried blogging before but what with work, university and life I ended up abandoning it. However after exams I came back and made Above Average Below Special solely a book blog! It's been a great year and I've thoroughly enjoyed it!
 
Things I learnt/ gained from Blogging!
New Genres~ Dystopia and New Adult.
The Art of Reviewing.
How publishing really works.
The value of EBooks.
The Blogging Community.
Social Media.
How to make headers.
