I have been writing my own book reviews for almost two years now -- I was at a different blog site at that time. Unfortunately, it didn't work out over there. I had zero visitors, readers, followers, and/or comments.
I wanted and needed a change. So four months ago, I decided to switch over to Blogger. In those months, I had gained 165 awesome readers! Sometimes, looking at it gets a bit overwhelming!
I still remember being so ecstatic when I got my first follower. I still feel like that everytime I gain another. Again, like I have mentioned before, it's not about the count that matters to me. It's just that I'm extremely grateful for it. I mean, I never thought people would even be interested to read and even comment on what I have to say! Another amazing thing? How wonderful and helpful the blog community is. I have "met" fellow book blogger friends who share the same interests and passions as me through this. Because of this little 'milestone' and because of how kind&supportive everyone is to me and this blog, I decided to have a huge giveaway!
P.S. - Super special thank you to those who have contributed prizes. *cough* book fairy(ies) *cough* One day people will know of your incredibly generous book-ish group.

It's funny how you changed blog sites and gained more followers. I am having the opposite problem. I was at wordpress and doing quite well but swapped to blogger last month to have more control over my layout etc. Now my readers and comments have dropped dramatically!

+2 Book recommendation. It was hard thinking of something since you've read so many books I would recommend, but we've read many similar books. So I would recommend Life of Pi by Yann Martel. I found it interesting and it has a surprise twist at the end. I didn't see it on the list so I really hope it's one you haven't read.

I don't know about a book recommendation because there aren't to many books translated here(not new ones), but the last one I've read is "the strange case of doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde".I'm sure you've read it because is a classic but i liked it. And I'm from Romania, and my email is kaguya2000@gmail.com
Sounds like fun!
