RESULT! - Larissa's Bookish Diary {Chapter SIX} - The 5-Year Itch + GIVEAWAY!

36 Lovely Comments!





It's been a while since I wrote one of these and I am sorry for that! I could say I have been super busy, but it's not true. I'm home right now for over a month recuperating from surgery and have had plenty of time to post more here, but I have to admit I had been in an awful reading and now kind of writing slump.

I have taken this time to catch up and get addicted to many TV series and to finally become a Whovian! I think I didn't read anything for like 2 months, it was crazy... but the reading slump stopped a couple days ago and now I'm on a reading binge! I can't see an end to it anytime soon, since tomorrow there are some amazing new releases coming.

Today is the 5-Year Blogoversary of this blog and I am so excited! I realized today that I made a mistake last year and instead of celebrating the 4-year blogoversary, i celebrated the 5-year one in advance LOL.

Well, it has been 5 years and I have loved it every step of the way. I know I have been a very bad blogger of late and I apologize, but I haven't been feeling like blogging for a while and it breaks my heart =/

I will keep on going and I wanna try to be more active as I used to be! I love you all and I really appreciate your support and readership SO VERY much!






Here's to 5 years more!!!



Now here's a little gift for you all!

  10. Happy 5-year Blogoversary, Larissa!!!

    Your blog is one of the first ones I fell in love with a few years ago, so here's to many, many more years to come :)

    And welcome to the Whowian's world :) At least something good came out of your reading slump, 'cause Doctor Who rocks! I'm actually re-watching the 11th Doctor series now, I'm actually in the middle of season 6, and I'm dying to see more new episodes! Xmas can't come soon enough :)

    Anyway, reading slumps suck :( I've been in one really long one for the last 2 months, although I think I'm over it now since yesterday, this book I'm reading now is awesome, and I can't put it down, so I think my reading slump is over, and I'm glad you're over yours :D

    And almost forgot, thanks for the giveaway!

  14. NoraA says:

    I don't know how you do it. I'm not even blogging 2 years and I just can't seem to post all the reviews of books I've read that I wanted to.

    Goddess Bless!

  15. Stephanie says:

    Whoo Hoo!!! Congratulations!!
    Keeping up a blog is hard work so we understand your slump, but I have to say I'm so glad you're back!! Your reviews are always so entertaining. Here's hoping your writing slump is at an end as well.
