I have been reading. I really have. In fact, I finished two books and sent off reviews for The Edge of the Forest. I’m soooo excited. I can’t tell you how long I’ve wanted to write for it. So, when I just happened to have two ARCs that wouldn’t work for Estella’s Revenge (too young), I got up the courage and emailed Kelly. I’m all giggly with anticipation, now. Something about seeing what you’ve written some place new gets me all excited.

I just started Northanger Abby yesterday, and (surprise!) am enjoying it. Maybe starting with my least favorite Austen is a good idea.

Until I finish, that, though…

Nyssaneala and Andi have both said I make their day (yay!). I know I’m supposed to pass this along, but I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m not sure I want to. There are 97 feeds on my bloglines, and I love reading every single one of them for so many different reasons. I love the photographs, the recipes, the book reviews (though my TBR list is out of control). I love the mom-bloggers, too; they give me strength and ideas to make it through each day. I love reading the Mormon blogs; there are some interesting thoughts and insights about my religion out there. And I can’t forget my family (blame my husband; it’s his fault I blog!) and friends — both old and new, even the ones I haven’t met in-person yet. If you have come by, read my blog, whether or not you’ve commented (but especially if you have), you’ve made my day. (I live for comments, which is ironic, since I tend to be more of a lurker than a commenter.) I probably read your blog now because you came by here. I know I’m not the chattiest blogger — I’ve got a shtick and I stick to it pretty well — but I love blogging. I love the electronic community out there, I love the ideas I get from you all. And my days would be much less sunny without you.

(I also tend to apologize for getting sappy. I’ll try not to this time. Have a great day!)
