Happy 5th Birthday, MyReadingLounge!

With more than 600 posts in 60 months and more than 130,000 visitors, there's a lot to be thankful for!

Thank you, dear friends. You made these last 5 years a great adventure for this little blog!

I wish I could invite you all to a great party!

All the best and have a wonderful New Year!

My Reading Lounge has just turned 4!

Thank you for your support! So far there have been more than 400 posts, and more than 100,000 visitors!

My Reading Lounge was created to share and discuss recs about Twilight fanfics. Over the years, the fandom has significantly slowed down, but the community around this (little) blog is still full of ideas.

In the last few months, I've tried to give more space to other stories -- original novels you can find under Pick a Book -- and to the Writing Lab, where many authors have accepted to share their writing tips and experiences.

I'd like to get your suggestions for the upcoming posts. Your ideas are the best birthday gift!

One of the most precious features of this blog is that its contributors come from all over the world. I'd like to share more posts about places to visit and books related to those places (because reading and writing are still this blog's main purpose). Stay tuned!

All the best,

- Raum

Dear friends,

the first post of this blog was created on this day, three years ago.

Your support and encouragement is the best gift I could ever wish for this blog. If you have a story or a book you'd like to review, or a suggestion for the writing lab, or if you need a banner, your ideas are always welcome.

Thank you to every friend who visited, left a comment, gave a suggestion.

You can find MyReadingLounge on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr.

I wish you a wonderful Xmas and a great 2014!

ps: Snare's new chapter is due to be posted on December 30.

Special Post: 2 years with MRL

2012-12-23 4 comments

Two years ago, at the beginning of the Xmas break, a friend on Twitter gave me a good advice. I used to share my TwiFic recs on Twitter, and she suggested me to put them on a web page, telling the reason why I'd liked those stories.

A few hours later, the first post of MyReadingLounge was on the web. Now you can find MRL also on Facebook and Tumblr.

Thank you for all the love you've given to this little blog so far!

Over the past 24 months, so many people have made this website special.
