Jude Reads Turns 1!

June 23 may be just be an ordinary day for most of us. For me though, it was when I did the unthinkable. 365 days ago today, I sat in front of the computer and typed and typed and typed. After a couple of hours of typing, I clicked the Publish button and BAM! This blog was born! And 365 days after, here it is! And I couldn't have accomplished all this without you! 

So for Jude Reads's first anniversary I shall take you on a very nostalgic tour called Jude Reads: Through the Months!
  • June - July 2013: Within these two months I was able to fully stylize my blog to a design which I thought was perfect. And looking back now I thought it just sucked. Kind of like that feeling you get when you read through your Facebook activity 3 years ago. Anyway, Jude Reads was still Seen Through the Glasses. the first blog name I ever thought of which I thought sounded so good until I realized it was quite a mouthful. I was also able to write six posts throughout these two months. I was getting single digit readers per post. Very encouraging, right? 
     
  • August - October 2013: I tried to commit myself to writing about one post per week (with school and all) and I did do that for the whole month of August. Although in 8 September, my grandpa passed away. After my 1st-of-September post, I was not able to update the blog for the rest of September. I guess that that month was just too sad for me. I ended up with only a single blog post for September. Although in October, I got into blogging again since October was when the next book of the series I love was released. I was also able to post my first ever book review during this month and attend my first ever Nuffnang event. My readers soared up from single digits to double digits per post. I felt so happy and I really noticed the progress I was making.

ACME MADE Back to School Promo

Hey Guys! 

I'm alive! I haven't been able to blog in a while so sorry about that. Honestly, I'm having both writer's and reader's block. I'm currently reading The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, although I find the story a bit static and ultimately boring. I try to read it during times when I don't have anything else to do, although those times were very rare these past few days. Anyway, I might update from time to time, what with the Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby trailers and updates coming out. 

But enough about me. I decided to blog today because I thought you guys should ought to check this out:


Ain't it cool? So if you're ever thinking about purchasing a Macbook Air/Pro, think about this awesome promo you can get.
