You still nurture the fantasy that you're meant to be, somehow, if you keep trying. Then comes the second month, and you realize that maybe, just maybe, that person wasn't made for you after all - yet all the signs were there. You're trying to start an argument whenever you get the chance. By then, you're starting to get annoyed and you don't even know why you are (which is the worst feeling ever or seems like it at the time). What happens on the second day? Oh, this person bores you a little, but that's okay, because how can you reject someone who agree with you so completely? You're running around rambling and proclaiming to to anyone who is willing to listen (and even those who definitely aren't) that you met this wonderful person who is just like you. Perhaps you bumped into that person by chance, what do I know?Īnyway, nobody's happier than you that day. Perhaps this meeting is the end of the relentless matchmaking of some friend of yours. The day you meet this person, you're ecstatic. Hell, maybe you even vote for the same party. You have the same hobbies, your interest is awoken by the same subjects, you followed the same curses in College, play the same games and read the same books. You all know this person who seems to be made for you.

Thank you so much to all of the people who have sent me books for review – and also of course to everyone who reads and comments and shares!:D All the people I talk to over emails and Twitter and Facebook are the coolest people to talk to. I’ve also been lucky enough to meet people from the publishing world and the blogging world IRL – which is probably the best thing. I’ve learned a lot over four years, from web skills to graphic-design dabbling and building audiences over social media. I’m so happy with the way this blog is right now and hope people who read it are, too. I’ve never been a very snazzy blogger with a self-built website or anything, but have redesigned this blog so many times – even with a name change, to the current The Bibliomaniac. Through blogging I’ve been able to do so much. Back in 2011, this blog started as a kind-of sister blog to my dad’s – his was Books and Writers and mine was first named Books and Writers JNR.
