Went to London to RARE19 and met some amazing authors - bought 30 books from them. 

My biggest dream came true - celebrated my birthday in Paris. And a BIG THANK YOU to Rowan Shaw, who helped me organize my trip and gave me tips for traveling in Paris. ♥

Started reading the Temptation series and finally met Logan and Tate! Holy hell, I love those two!

I got nominated in two categories - favorite blog ; reader who always has the best book recs to share 

I was far from winning in either category, but the nomination was the best prize to me, so thank you!

I'm very thankful for this last year because I met so many amazing people on the internet because of books. Authors and readers too. But mostly authors, because I'm still an introvert, but when it comes to authors, I don't know...my english is like I speak and use this language full time and my anxiety is non existent. 

Thank you for those who gave me ARC copies and thank you for those who's reading my reviews.

Darker themes are still my favorite. And daddy kink (with or without age-play). Menage. Teacher/student. BDSM. Taboo. Shifters. Mpreg.

And loooove the cute ones too so basically anything.

I have only two categories I don't like as much - cowboys and historical. I read books in both themes, but not my cup of tea. 

Thank you for reading and authors, thank you for writing! 

Can't wait to see what 2020 will bring.
