It's a spark. Oh, a Firework!

I honestly don't know what label to hand to this post. So I'm penning down every thought that crashes into my mind. I'm going to follow my thoughts instead of planning them, just for once.

"It's a spark. Oh, a firework!"

This best describes how I feel right now when I look at my blog-- Bookcase to Heaven! It has been an amazing time with all of you in the past month or so, whether you are a new member of this warm family of bookish love or one that has pitted in at the very beginning. It started off in the first two months as a small flame, about to extinguish at any time. But no, the wind made it stronger.

I am really really happy and grateful for all 30 members of this blog! This is a great milestone and surely there are even more to be achieved in the near future!

A big thank-you to all of you out there, wherever you are from, because love of books transcend boundaries and form everlasting friendships! Thank you for your unwavering support, attentive comments & meaningful recognition! Thank you for simply reading this post!

Ahh... I just read through what I wrote, it sounds quite solemn.

Now, on a lighter note, 2012 will be a even greater 12 months for Bookcase2heaven! Here's a basic agenda:

1. At least 48 posts this year (12 months times 4 weeks per month = 48). I will post at least once a week. School has started again with me busier than ever, but fear not! The posts will arrive in due time! When I am free, I will post once a day. It's possible!

2. A halt of the first campaign for Fairytales. I am really sorry about this, but if there is one thing I realized about book blogging, it's to never recount old books that I read a year or two ago. That's because I don't have a copy of the book and cannot recall the content well, hence I'm unable to give you the best review :(
So starting from now on, it's all about the books that I've read recently! Once again, sorry, but more wonderful campaigns coming out soon!

3. Excerpts from new books will be posted. I'm excited! Are you?

How about a few exciting themes?

1. Valentine: My Love Goes to You

• I will make many confessions to those swoon-worthy boys of the YA genre.
• Featured in February
• Do check out Eleusinian Mysteries & Read Me Bookmark Me Love Me's amazing February Valentine's Event nearer to the date!

2. On the Silver Screen: Golden or not?

• A campaign about book-turned-movies
• Featured around April, after the release of the movie, Hunger Games ^O^

That's all for now!

A big thank-you to Vidya & Fall Into Books for passing on the Versatile Blogger Award to my blog-- Bookcase to Heaven!  It really made my day especially since it's the start of 2012! Lots of bookish love goes to you!

 

Here's the rules:

• Thank and link to the blogger who bestowed the award
• Share seven random facts about yourself (see below)
• Spread the love by passing the award to five other bloggers-- and be sure to let them know

Oh well, here's seven random facts about me:

1. I love Starbucks but dislike coffee (it's bad for your teeth darling!). (Fave drink is Vanilla Latte/White Chocolate Mocha Frappuchino)
2. My all-time favourite fictional character is Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean (so suave!)
3. I am a Gemini with many personalities (but throughout all, one trait remains the same-- love of books!) 
4. I always sing cheesy Broadway songs in the shower ^O^ (e.g. "Ireland" from Legally Blonde Musical or "Popular" in Wicked)
5. I am obsessed about movie scripts, I read them whenever I can.
6. I do secret character impersonations when I look at the mirror (like I say "When shall we three meet again in thunder, lightning, or in rain?" by pretending to be a witch when studying my hair... HAHAHA)
7. I chase a leaf around by kicking it, not stopping until it ends up on the road.

• Lindsay
