Out with the Old, In with the New ~ January 2016 Recap

Berls @ Fantasy is more fun and I are recapping 2016
and looking ahead to 2017, for the next 12 days.
Feel free to join us!
I’ll be sharing highlights month-by-month and giving you a peak at what’s ahead in 2017.

out with the OLD: 2016

Do you remember this month…UGH! This was the month of the explosion…Yup…this was when my blog blew up and a lot of other peoples blogs as well.  My host company had a DDOS Attack and it pretty much knocked all blogs down on their servers for 3 weeks. This was the beginning of the most horrible slump I hope I will ever be in. This month was also the month that things got so messed up in my real life with my son again. So him having issues and my blog blowing up for 3 weeks. I was hoping this wasn’t what my 2016 was going to look like…I was so wrong.

in with the NEW: 2017

Lets hope in 2017 this wont happen again..I would cry. However I made a promise to myself and it’s something I plan to do for 2017. I wont let a minor set back affect me like I let it this year. I really dropped the ball, I know most of it wasn’t my fault but I know I am stronger than that. So my promise for 2017 is to keep going no matter what…on the blog and real life. Shit happens, it is what it is. I am hoping 2017 will be the year of great ideas and major comebacks. Because of the slump, I was a shitty blogger/blogger friend. I hope to be better this year. One step at a time. This year I am 100% about blogging, books and my amazing blogging friend! Love you all. 🙂

My Favorite Book this month:

This book was amazing, it was the kitchen sink of YA books, it had EVERYTHING in it. I can’t love this book enough and it set the bar for 2016 very high. This book became one of my all time favorites.

What are you looking forward to in 2017?
