500 – The Bookish Mutant

Happy Friday, bibliophiles!

This is certainly a great way to start off my April!

I mentioned in my March Wrap-Up yesterday that I’d recently hit 500 followers! So I wanted to make a post to commemorate the milestone.

My goal in blogging was never to gain followers. My main goal was to create a space to share the things I love—books, music, writing, movies, and much more. But it truly warms my heart to think that 500 of you—500 of you!!!—loved the space that I’ve created, and genuinely enjoy what I put out into the world. So to all of you who have followed, liked, commented, and shared the love, I owe you a heartfelt thank you. This community has been such a welcoming one through and through, and each and every one of you has made it that way.

I’d like to take the time to thank some of my fellow book bloggers who’ve helped me along this journey—Éimhear, Sarah, Julie, Beck, Brianna, Syl, Sabrina, Bertie, Elli, Hundreds & Thousands, Ahaana, Rachel, Saniya, Cherry, Ritz, Brooke, Maddie, Cherelle, Phoenix, and everyone else who’s taken the time to read, share, and respond to my thoughts. (And my parents, of course!) Being in this community with you all has opened up my eyes to so many perspectives, and I’ve formed so many valuable bonds—and found so many new books to read! Thanks for sticking around. Here’s to loads more wonderful books. 💗
