50/50 Friday - Retired


50/50 Friday is a weekly meme hosted by me and the wonderful Laura from Blue Eye Books.

So I want to explain the idea behind 50/50 Friday. I've been wanting to create a meme for about a year now but sadly, I'm not the most creative person and I am so busy with work these days that it was just too hard. 

One day my partner helped me with the idea and I liked it. Though again, where I'm not creative I could not come up with a lot of good topics and then the sweet Laura offered to help and she has come up with so many great ideas and created the spreadsheet and pretty much everything else. Without her, this meme would never have come to life. So I am so thankful for everything she had done and I'm glad I'm not alone in this. 


Now what is 50/50 Friday?

Everyone has a favorite and then we also have something we dislike. Like a coin, there are two sides to every question. Example: best sequel you've read/worst sequel you've read. So that's what 50/50 Friday is all about. We will have a new topic every Friday (something bookish of course!). If you have have ideas for this meme don't be scared to let us know!
