Can you believe 2013 is over? Wow!
Last year I did my first ever end of the year wrap up post and I thought I would do another one this year. This year was a bit of a challenge trying to keep this blog up and running. Yes! Blogging is a learning process and I have to learn how to budget, schedule and manage my time a little bit more. For one, much more organized and focus about my blog than I was at the beginning of this journey but I still need to work on the time management.

I attended all the Mocha Girls Read book club meetings except one due to a wedding. As always I love sharing and chit chatting about our monthly selections. We also had several book swaps, and a book club anniversary party.
Also this year Mocha Girls Read got a Book Club of the Year award and a our 4th Chapter in San Diego. Ca. is up and running.
As you can see this has been a great bookish year.
I am so thankful for all the followers, the authors, the publishing companies and of course the other book bloggers for welcoming me into their community. Still so thrilled and loving it all!
