KindleObsessed Celebrates 1 year!!
August 22nd, 2010
Today is KindleObsessed’s 1 year Blogiversary and I’m SUPER excited!! Now…before I bore you with the milestones I have reached this year I first wanted to thank all of you who have made KO such a success. Without dedicated readers, and authors like yourself I would not be here; instead I would be just another random chick that reads a lot, and bitches to much, so… *Hugs* to all of you for not only giving me an outlet, but actually listening to my advice on what to read and what to avoid. This year has been a whirl wind for me, I never expected KO to take off quite like it did, but I don’t regret a single moment of it. I have met a boat load of talented people, gotten to share opinions with some of the best in the business, and have become friends with people I only every dreamed about. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. So again…thank you for letting me enjoy the ride!
Much Love! – Misty
These are the milestones I felt warranted a shout out… enjoy!

Congratulations on a job well done. This is my first visit to your site (blog) but I can see why you have been successful over the year. I will share your page with all of my Twitter friends.
Thanks Mike!!!
When did we add 2 more states? Last time I looked, we still had 50!
I knew I was going to get shit for that but I posted it anyways. According to my Google Analytic page they include Puerto Rico and Washington DC in the state count. I could have left it at 50, but I didn’t want to reject some of my readers. I had over 300 hits from PR alone and another 200 from DC. I promise.. I’m not a complete moron.
Congrast Misty on your anniversary. I love this blog. You’ve turned me on to so many good books.
My poor Kindle actually blew up tonight after purchasing “My Blood Approves”. ACCCKKKK thank goodness it’s still under warranty and I will be getting another one in the next few weeks. The worst part will be the waiting. May have to read it on my phone to tide me over.
Oh no!!!!!!! Your poor Kindle
at least Amazon has great customer service and you are able to get it fixed.
Thank you so much for being such a dedicated reader, and I’m glad I could expand your library.
Enjoy My Blood Approves. It is sooo good.
Congratulations! I’m happy to have found your site. I’m sorry I didn’t give my congrats earlier but I’m here now! Thanks for all that you do and keep up the good work.
Thanks Jean!
Congrats on your one year Blogoversary!!! We almost have the same blog-birthday, except I’m one day older
