In late May I posted a survey of sorts to learn more about the Smexy readership and I am thankful for all the responses. As I mentioned the blogging landscape has really changed and continues to change. We can barely keep up! I promised I would respect the privacy of the respondents but I do want to share some very general things that we learned/confirmed. First, y’all really miss the Friday Top Ten.

Sheena’s Favorite Books for 2017 & Giveaway
2017 was definitely a year of highs and lows, disappointments and pleasant surprises; and in a way it felt very polarizing.
