The Sirenic Codex Is One! And You Can Win Red Rising or The Winner's Curse!

A discussion between P.E. and Mari.

OMG The Sirenic Codex is officially one! It's been a long process, and it's crazy to see our baby growing up. Mari and I started this blog last year, almost on a whim. It was something we talked about for a while, and it wasn't until we decided to close our previous blogs and move on that the process sped up. Throughout the year, there were some mishaps, but I think we're both extremely happy with how the blog has done through it first year.

So Mari, what has been the highlight of blogging for this past year?

That's an easy one. It's our amazing followship. The TSC doesn't have a huge following but the people we have are the best kind of book friends. We enjoy reading everyone's comments and replying to each and every one of them. You guys are so appreciated and we couldn't have done it without you. Some one once said comments are better than cookies and the comments on the TSC are definitely better.

I'm pretty sure I said that. Funny, because I'm eating cookies right now! Beyond the readers, whom I adore obviously, my highlight has been being very proud of some of my work. I like writing, and I feel like this year especially, I worked hard to try to write posts worth reading. I'm nowhere near where I want to be, but there are some reviews and discussion posts that I'm extremely proud of.

Definitely, I'm very happy with how far the blog has come and all the work we've put into it. I've enjoyed doing the cover wars meme which was my favourite from your old blog. Also, I love being able to do these conversation type discussion posts. I also believe that I've one some of my best work on this blog. Here are some of my favourites:

• Bookish Vacations: Anna and the French Kiss
• Why Do I Read?
• Dauntless: Side-Effects of The Bronze Horseman
• Come Back Hope: On Dystopias and Technology
• Review: Mistress of Rome

There is much to be proud of. All these posts made me smile whilst writing and I enjoy reading them, I hope everyone else did too. How about you? What are your favourites?

Obviously, the best has yet to come, but my favourites include

• Looking for Euphoria: Dreaming and Blogging
• Libraries Are Awesome
• The New Hotness
• Comments Are Better Than Cookies
• The Cost of Awesomeness
• The Rule of Romance in YA
• Melina Marchetta: The Books That Hurt
• The Land of Opinions

Yeah, we had a great run. I think we've done great so far. So great, and a lot of it has to do with our readers. So, for TSC's first birthday, we will be hosting a giveaway. And not just any giveaway: we will be giving away one of our favourite books.
