Wow.
One. Thousand. Followers.
I cannot believe that my blog has reached this milestone! I’m so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you who have found my little corner of the blog-o-sphere interesting enough to follow. I’ve only been book blogging for five months…today, actually. I started Refracted Light on June 28th, and at first it was just a silly little outlet to post my thoughts on books, but then the blog really started taking off… exponentially. I’m truly shocked by how much Refracted Light has grown, and I have you, yes you, completely to thank for this. I have just been LOVING this whole book blogging experience, and YOU are an integral part of that experience.
So….as a gesture of thanks to all my followers, I’m having a giveaway!

But before we get to that, I have a winner to announce… my FIRST winner for the 1,000 Follower Giveaway. Already, you ask? Yup! Not only am I grateful for all of my followers, but I’m also incredibly thankful for the ones who take time out of their busy days to read and comment on my reviews. So if you commented on any of my November reviews, you were automatically entered in my secret, little giveaway!
And the winning commenter is… Giselle @ Xpresso Reads!
She gets to pick ONE (1) book under $12 from The Book Depository

Whoops! I just read the note that said I have to be sixteen! *smiles sheepishly* I’m only fifteen right now, so you can withdraw my entry. x) I’m really sorry, but I LOVE your blog!
Hey Mimi! Thank you so much for following… you’re a familiar face around here. And thank you for being honest about your age. I meant to lower the age restrictions in the Rafflecopter form. I’m just a total mom and some of the books I give away, I feel, are better suited to an older teenage audience… but Destined is NOT one of those books. I just don’t want any parents upset with me for providing their teens with reading material they feel is unsuitable or inappropriate. So as long as your parents are aware you’re entering and they’re fine with that… we’re all good
Congrats and thank you for making such an awesome giveaway international! 😀
