Happy 1st Birthday to BNR!

Here we are, peeps! The Big 1 for Black Nailed Reviews! I can't believe I'm sitting here and it's already been a whole year since I started this little blog. I remember I was sitting in my school's library during study hall and put together this whole thing in the matter of 90 minutes.

Some events that went on in BNR's first year:
-Brooke and Maddie joined the team
-Ashley from Ashley's Bookshelf customized the new ILYB Award
-There was the first ever ILYB Awards and Larissa's Bookish Life won Best Blog of the Year
-We made Music Mondays, Wanted Wedensdays, and Film Fridays (and the sadly failed Trailer Thursdays)
-We had the first 12 Days of Bookmas

Some awesome review facts:
-My first review was over Breaking Dawn
-Maddie's first review was over You Again
-Brooke's first review was over Beautiful Creatures
-The most popular posts were My Top 10 Movies of 2010 (48 pageviews), Salt: Movie Review (79 pageviews), PRETTY LITTLE LIARS: STYLISTAS (86 pageviews), Vampire Diaries--Season 2, Episode 9: "Katerina" (87 pageviews), Wanted Wednesday: Vampire Kisses 8: Cryptic Cravings (94 pageviews)
-The Wanted Wednesday: Vampire Kisses 8: Cryptic Cravings's post has been viewed so many times, if you look up Cryptic Cravings, it shows up fourth and if you look up Vampire Kisses 8 Cryptic Cravings, it shows up first...even before Ellen Schreiber's LiveJournal!
-The US is our biggest audience, then UK, and third Germany

I want to say thank you to everyone who we have met in BNR's first year! We can not thank our readers enough for being there for us through thick and thin! We have 13,391 views so far, let's keep making that number grow!

Peace and Fangs,
Alisha
