The Book Stacks

Hello everyone!

My spam filter has been eating all comments lately, so if you make a comment and it doesn’t show up, please let me know. (You can use the ‘contact me’ button on the right under the site description.)

I’ll try to keep a close eye on the spam trap until this sorts out, but I would greatly appreciate your help in this.

Thanks!

Instead of leaving everyone to think I’m a slacker blogger, I wanted to let you know I’m quite ill at the moment. I’m to the point of being even too exhausted to blog from bed.

I’ll be back to normal soon, but until then, posting might be a bit sporadic.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Well, folks, this is it. Among other things, you have until midnight (Pacific Time) tonight for your last chance to make me write the poem that is the forfeit for A Book By Any Other Name. Last call for everything, really.

I started this blog a year ago, back when 451 Press was just starting out. It seems to me that there were about 20 of us in the beginning. I applied for a music blogging position, and casually mentioned that they obviously needed book bloggers. Surprise! Look what they offered me. I wasn’t too sure that I could do it, but I was glad to prove myself wrong. Now, one year later, I find that I am a professional blogger who is soon to be blogging for my day job, too. I have really enjoyed our conversations here. A special thank you goes out to Keith, who was my very first commenter. Comments are the life blood of blogs. They help you know that you’re not talking to a vacuum. So, thanks to all of you who have commented. You’ve made me feel welcome here. And that’s just cool.

I don’t know what else to say, really. I’ve enjoyed the Favorite Books and Reading Spots, the links and the book suggestions. Be sure to give JM a warm welcome when she starts next week. She was one of the other folks that started when I did, so I’ve had a year to read her blogs. She will do a fabulous job. (When she publishes a book, I’ll be glad to write a guest review so that she doesn’t have to write it and review it.) Be sure to stop by and check out my other blogs: Watching Doctor Who, Silliness.org, and the blog for the Fremont Main Library once it appears in a month or so (Library Time.)

As one of my best friends always says: Peace, Love and Other Indoor Sports (like Table Tennis) to you.
