This week marks my three-year blogiversary. In May of 2008, I started Suko's Notebook. During my first year of blogging, I got little traffic and few comments (blogging is not for the thin-skinned), but I didn't give up. No one knew about my blog, except for a few family members and friends, but I kept on reading and posting. I had a lot to learn--and still do. Gradually, I "met" book bloggers from all over the world. Eventually, I started to hear from authors, agents, and publishers, and had the opportunity to review books and interview authors.
My book blog is constantly changing and evolving, and I hope that it will continue to grow and improve and be a site that's worth visiting. I appreciate all of my readers, and thank you for reading!

I often mention giveaway winners in my Really Random Tuesday posts. In fact, that's one of the reasons I created this meme, in order to have a "place" to announce them. The winner of the $25 Amazon gift card is Carrie from In the Hammock Book Reviews. Congratulations, Carrie!
