This is my first year on Goodreads, so I have nothing to compare it to, but overall, it was enjoyable, aside from that strange troll that popped up on my review of Anastasia, the Lost Princess with a five-paragraph rant about how I was stupid for not believing Anna Anderson was Anastasia (okay, that's a bit harsh, but I think that's what he was thinking). I started out as Princess_Maria (later changed to Neurotic_Princess_Maria, Mashka Romanova (The Neurotic Princess), Grand Duchess Olga, etc.) and spent most of my time here searching reviews of Romanov books for friends and making a whole bunch of useless listopiae (that's not a word but I don't care). I started RP (my favorite group is A Time Traveler's Guide to New York) and made a few friends that way, but also find myself on more because of it and got myself a bit pissed because my largest RP group, Hotel Melody is full of a bunch of people who haven't even created characters. Sometimes Goodreads can make me extremely angry but for the most part it was a good year so..... 
 um..... 
 Keep Calm and Love Great Comet!
