1 year Blogoversary Giveaway: Day 1

06/10/2013

PrintHere it is, a year since I officially made my non-blog a blog. I know, it doesn’t make sense, right? Well, I thought about starting a blog for almost a year….but the research I did turned up so much nastiness and back-stabbing, I didn’t want to get involved in that crap. I ABHOR drama, and never wanted to put myself in a position of attracting it.

no-drama

But in February of 2012, my husband, a graphic artist, made me a website to sell sexy toys, books and lingerie. (Of course he did, the horny pig.) He wanted me to write little sex toy reviews, give sexy advice, and sell my favorite sexy books. It was a website, not a blog. As one of the very early readers of the Fifty Shades books, I knew I needed to take off from that, because it would be big (hence the name Ana). I knew there must be women like myself everywhere were looking for books just like Fifty Shades, because I had been doing it for the previous 6-8 months, plus news on Fifty Shades, and toys from Fifty Shades. So I started to make lists and write little articles. Like these two:

So You Want Him to Spank You?-Getting your man to have Fifty Shades of Fun

And one to send your guys:

Beginning BDSM and Spanking 101-Fulfilling Her Fifty Shades Fantasies

Once I started writing a lot (mostly reviews), I didn’t know what to do with the stuff I was writing! So in April or May we tried embedding the blog into the website. It was a page within a page, and the functionality was not there. Finally, on June 8th, 2013, I broke the site up and started a real blog….the blog I swore it wasn’t. This is why all of my posts have a very long url. The blog was originally Ana’s Diary, and a small part of a larger site Anas-attic, that also had a bookstore and Red Room of Pain (which still exists, there is lots of good stuff I have spent a ton of time researching, check the categories on the left).

While the original blog was meant to help people find more books like Fifty Shades, I have read so many amazing books since that the focus has completely changed to just great books. I don’t care who publishes the book–indie or traditional. A great book is a great book.

My Top Picks Lists have all of my favorite books in categories: BDSM, Bikers, Rock Stars, New Adult, Funny books, Sexy Books, and more, as well as favorites from certain time periods, like my Best of 2012 list. I also have upcoming releases that I update regularly. And tons of series reading orders that I always add to. I post Freebies and Discounts 1-2 times a week on the blog, and daily on my facebook page and twitter.

In the past year I have had over a half million pages loaded and over 350,000 visitors. That is freaking CRAZY. I am so humbled and overwhelmed by this! I have met so many new people through blogging, I regret letting myself get swayed by the negative. Blogging has been 100% positive for me. I have made friends to last a lifetime, I started another blog, Starting On Monday a few months back, and I also do Wicked Book Events as an excuse to party with my idols, the authors who write these great books. This year has been:

absolutely epic

Through it all, my husband has backed me up like crazy and does all of my graphics. He is awesome. Running a blog takes ridiculous amounts of time (I spend 10-12 hours a day, often), and it costs money! But every time you click my links and purchase something, or even click to something else and buy it, I get a few pennies from Amazon. Even when you use my handy dandy Amazon search on the sidebar.  It’s not much, but it adds up and allows me to give away gift cards and books to you all! So please, keep clicking! 🙂

    I always read a couple comments in front of mine because I try not to duplicate but in this case my confession is the same as Dana’s. A friend of mine and I were just talking about this the other day when I confessed to her the trash I’ve been reading since I got my tablet. She said she’s going to put a book cover on books so she can take them to the pool! Just to put a different confession out there, I drink milk straight from the jug sometimes.

    My confession….I HATED romance novels less than a year ago. I started with Paranormal Romance/Urban fantasy because they “weren’t really romance”. (that is what I told myself) Then I won a free signed copy of “Fifty Shades of Grey” (totally by accident! Honest). Just so my husband and his cousin would shut up about it I read it and suddenly I had this moment where I said “Oh my gosh! Is this what I have been missing?” Been addicted ever since.

    Confession… I never read books until a last minute decision almost 2 years ago to buy FSOG at the airport on my way to Florida for a visit with my sisters. They hated me, I couldn’t put the books down. Had to go buy the 2nd book while I was there! I’ve been an addict ever since. I don’t even watch tv anymore, and I used to have certain shows I loved to watch. Any spare minute I can, I read, or get on goodreads, and book blogs! My husband and kids bought me a personalized iPad mini for Mother’s Day, its mine all mine! Only fueling my fire. Happy Blogaversary!!

    When I get down the last one or two left of my Entemann’s mini coffee cakes, I hide them. Years ago, when we still had all of the kids home, I’d have to hide my Sunshine Hydrox cookies (those were always my favorites & they don’t make the damn things anymore), anyway, the boys would always eat the sweet treats on me, so I hid the cookies in the oven one time. Said to myself “nobody will think to look in there for them”. Well, didn’t that come back to bite me in the ass. My husband was cooking, turned the oven on & soon we started to smell stuff burning. He looked in the oven and wasn’t too pleased with me. Neither was I, cuz I didn’t have anymore cookies.

One time at one of my daughter’s volleyball games the basketball coach asked me what I was reading then asked to see my kindle. I know I blushed and quickly tried to change the book to a harlequin romance to be one top….LOL Needless to say after that I started to sit further away from people who would ask to see my kindle. 🙂

This fun @meghanquinnbooks activity book is a Targ This fun @meghanquinnbooks activity book is a Target exclusive! How perfect is the title for Meghan? Would you get this? Looks fun!
🎄 FUN, FESTIVE, AND FILTHY! 🎧🔥 If National Lampoo 🎄 FUN, FESTIVE, AND FILTHY! 🎧🔥If National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation were a spicy romance, I imagine it would look a lot like Christmas Staycation by Meghan Quinn!I had SO MUCH FUN with this audiobook! 😂 The humor is completely juvenile, the family is chaotic, and Nolan has absolutely NO FILTER. Seriously, that man’s mind lives in the gutter, and I loved every minute of it.But underneath all the dirty jokes and Christmas chaos, there’s a surprisingly swoony romance. Nolan may be a walking sexual innuendo, but his sweet little gestures and golden retriever energy totally won me over. ❤️And the AUDIO! 🎧 The full-cast duet narration was fantastic. Shane East as the story’s narrator, especially when the characters start interacting with him, made the whole experience even funnier. Kelsey Navarro Foster and Brandon Francis were amazing as leads and made me wonder why I don’t see them used more. Swipe through for the tropes, some hilariously filthy quotes, my quick take, rating, and all the audiobook details!If you love outrageous humor, holiday romance, and a hero who has never met an inappropriate comment he didn’t want to make, add this one to your Christmas reading list!🎄 Full review with likes & dislikes at anasattic.comHave you read Meghan Quinn’s Kringletown Christmas books? Which is your favorite?

Add in some adorable animals, a little mystery, and plenty of spice, and I was happily back in Evergreen Falls!🎧 Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon lead an amazing full-cast duet narration that makes this story even more fun. I seriously can’t imagine experiencing Lauren’s books any other way!If you love grumpy/sunshine Christmas romances, add this one to your holiday listening list!
I love how the narrator and Nolan break the fourth I love how the narrator and Nolan break the fourth wall in the Kringletown books.  Make sure the sound is on so you see what I mean. Christmas Staycation by @meghanquinnbooks had me laughing out loud! Nolan is a goofy immature perv with loyal, sweet and loving acts of service, and I am totally here for it. My full review is on the blog (link in bio). Meghan has been a long time favorite author, and she just keeps reinforcing that status! Grab this Christmas romcom on audio, the full cast narration audiobook makes it a full experience you don’t want to miss!Note: this is the Walmart special edition paperback.

Go see YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING in the theater ASAP. Go see YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING in the theater ASAP. This movie was fascinating. It’s long and you won’t want to get up so make sure you pee, pick a comfy theater, and don’t drink your whole bucket of soda. I didn’t think I wanted to see a documentary in the theater, I was wrong. Sold out theater and nobody got up during the whole 3 hour film. Everyone in the bathroom was saying how great it was and how much they had to go the whole time lol. It still has a 98% RT score.
Mistletoe All The Way by Lauren Blakely took me ri Mistletoe All The Way by Lauren Blakely took me right back to the charming Christmas town of Evergreen Falls, and I loved being there again! 🎄❤️A grumpy, Christmas-hating veterinarian, a sunshine heroine who lives for the holidays, a fun Christmas competition, adorable animals, and a little mystery made this such an entertaining listen!And the full-cast duet narration led by Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon? SO GOOD! Lauren Blakely’s books are made for audio, and this one is no exception.This is book 3 in the Evergreen Falls series, but it can absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone. Perfect for getting into the holiday spirit! See my full review on the blog at anasattic dot com (link in bio)

A Very Good Bad Idea by Emma Chase is now availabl A Very Good Bad Idea by Emma Chase is now available on Kindle! 📚This fun, over-the-top enemies-to-lovers romcom has hilarious banter, outrageous pranks, and two rivals forced to live together for four months with no phones, internet, or outside contact! I especially loved watching the romance develop once Jade and Damon finally let their guards down.I listened to the audiobook with fantastic duet narration by Sean Masters and Brooke Bloomingdale, but now you can grab it for your Kindle, too.My full review is on the blog (link in bio)
