Three years ago...

On December 21, 2012, I published my very first blog post with excitement ... and a little fear and trembling. I posted a Top Ten list (because I love bookish lists!) and a review of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, a book I really loved. Then I waited to see if anyone would ever find, read, or comment on my blog. And you did.

Besides wanting to keep track of and better remember the books I was reading, the other reason I started blogging was to connect with people who love books and reading as much as I do. I like talking books with other bookworms. By blogging, I hoped to find my own bookish community. And now I have friends from Ireland, England and the Netherlands, New Hampshire and New Jersey, Texas and Louisiana, Colorado and Canada, and many places in between. Your bookish blogs and articulate and fun posts inspire me to continue blogging ... and to try to do it better.

So thank you!!!
And happy reading.

    Congratulations on this beautiful anniversary! I always like the diversity of your posts, the bookish art or the way you write your reviews.
    I hope to read much more from you in the years to come!

    Isn't it amazing how the internet can bring people together?
    All the best from The Netherlands!!!
