Hey everyone! It’s New Years Day!! Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s already 2017 🙂 Only time will tell what happens next year. For now, let’s take a second and look back on 2016 on Random Reads. Happy New Year’s Eve. Take some time to remember what you accomplished this year too!

2016 Accomplishments (Blog and Personal)
- I posted 175 posts. That’s actually way more than I thought I did.
- I reached 200 followers and am almost at 300.
- Elizabeth Dahl, an author, found my blog and gave me a Twitter shout out!!
- I started High School
- I read so many books that I lost track and failed my Goodreads challenge.
- I made so many amazing blogging friends and friends in real life.
- I finally got a Snapchat! (It’s my only social media okay?)
There was so much more that happened. These are just a few highlights.
Thank you guys so much for a fantastic 2016. My blog Random Reads grew so much. I learned and changed a lot. My blog content and style has changed too. Though most say stats don’t matter, mine have been wayyy down. I’m not too worried. I just hope people know that I am back and haven’t given up. Happy New Year once again. I hope everyone has a fantastic 2017. No matter what happens, 2016 is in the past now. That’s something we can be happy about.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for:
- A 2017 Goals Post
- Another Library Book Haul (Finally!)
- A Anticipated 2017 Books Post
- A 2016 to 2017 themed tag and so much more!

Happy New Year and congrats on the highlights of 2016! I’m so glad high school is a memory now, hahahaha. You’ve written a lot of posts, that’s awesome 🙂 I had a hard time keeping up with my schedule in 2016 so I’m hoping to find the right balance this year. Have a great and bookish 2017!

Pft, stats are just data! Don’t worry about them. What matters is how YOU feel! I love reading your posts– keep it up! You’ll find a following soon enough. 🙂 Besides, you started high school?! You’ve got so much time. Some of us are planning their wedding
I have loved watching your blog grow, and I can’t wait to see what happens in 2017. 🙂 All the best to you!

Thank you so much!! This made my day 🙂 I’m so happy that you enjoy my posts. I think I think about stats too much. I guess I do have a lot of time. It’s crazy to think that some bloggers have families and jobs while I’m just beginning High School. I can’t wait to see how it continues to grow. I’m excited to see what 2017 brings. Thank you! All the best to you as well 🙂

Time is relative. You have whatever time you make. And, if you are making time now, awesome! But you will have a longer stretch to blog– and this makes me super happy! I can’t wait to see how your blog grows over time. 😍😍😍
