I just want to thank everyone who has made 2015 a fantastic year here on Rosie Amber’s book review blog.
By the close of midnight on December 31st I will have read 192 books in this year’s Goodreads reading challenge.
My brilliant Book Review team have read and reviewed between them nearly 350 books.
In October I met up with some of the review team in Sheffield and we talked “books” for almost 24 hours, we plan to meet again in 2016 and I would like to expand this and continue to meet more members of the team face to face.
In 2015 I published 834 posts and I’ve had more than 64000 blog post views.
The best day was November 30th when we announced the voting OPEN for our #RBRT Golden Rose Book awards. You can catch up with the winners and runners-up here. http://wp.me/p2Eu3u-8D1
During 2015 I took part in the April A to Z blog challenge
I created my Wednesday Wing posts full of writing tips / promo tips and advice from a readers point of view http://wp.me/P2Eu3u-7Lw
In June I ran my own Beach reads blog tour
In September I co-organised The Romancing September book tour with Stephanie Hurt.
We’ve posted profiles of the Book Review Team #RBRT You can meet them here http://wp.me/P2Eu3u-5qu
I created the #FridayFiveChallenge to highlight the importance of getting a book cover right to GRAB new readers.
We launched the #TuesdayBookBlog hashtag on Twitter. Check out the rules here http://wp.me/P2Eu3u-86n
In November I ran my own Mystery Book tour.
I’ve run two readathons to encourage readers to write reviews.
I finished the year co-author of The 12 Days of Christmas – by Her Indoors with Terry Tyler http://wp.me/p2Eu3u-8GB
Happy New Year to All – We’ll be back on January 4th with much, much more.
And I’ve been spending my holiday catching up on many of the books I bought after reading a review by you or one of your team. 🙂

Oh I bet it does.
When things become a chore it is probably time to take a break!
I hope it won’t come to that though because I really enjoy your blog and only wish I had more time to follow.
