Appreciation and Gratitude


I really need to let everyone know how much I appreciate all of your comments and support that you give to me when you visit my blog. This blog started out as a way to track what I read and to put my thoughts down and share with others. Never did I imagine how much joy it would bring to me by way of making new friends all over the world. It has been wonderful to connect with so many different people and to see that they too suffer from BOOK OBSESSION!! This blog has become a very creative outlet for me, one that has helped me get through the downs of life and one that has also helped me appreciate my life that much more. There are many of you out there that I correspond with on a regular basis through email. We've become friends....I cherish these relationships. I've met (online) several new people from Michigan. A few that I hoping to meet over the summer. Blogs are all about connecting with others who share some sort of common interest and from there it grows. I love this blogging community and I feel so lucky to be a part of it. I love having so many different people to blame for my ever growing TBR pile that is threatening to take over my scrapbook room!! I've found that when I go to the library I'm now more AWARE of different authors because I've read so many great reviews that have stuck with me. Now I'm picking up books that I may have never read and because of YOU I get to experience something wonderful through the pages of an author's writing. So today I'm sending out a big heartfelt message of GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION. You've made this book blogging experience truly something special!!!

    You are right the book blogging community. It is a fun and friendly one; and completely dangerous for feeding the book obsession. Since blogging my tbr pile has tripled in only 6 months eek!
