HAPPY 1st BLOGIVERSARY TO ME!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, TOO!

I can’t believe a year has passed since I entered the blogging community! I started this blog because I read voraciously, I absolutely love all kinds of books, and I wanted to share my thoughts about what I read. I am humbled by the support I have gotten from so many of you in this past year and I absolutely cannot believe the number of followers I have!! I interact with some of you regularly, and others may just be casual readers of my blog, but all of you are much appreciated. I may not have as many followers as some, but in my opinion, I have the best!
