1st Blogiversary

I suddenly realised late yesterday evening that owing to my melting state, I missed commemorating my first Blogiversary on July 3rd ! I can scarcely believe it's more than a year since I started my Blog - and even less can I believe how convinced I was that it wouldn't last ! I was sure I'd struggle to find the time (I still do occasionally) or books to write about (odd, that one, given the terrific rate at which I read !), but here I am, just over a year later and going so strong I started a second Blog only two months ago to accommodate my spoilerish reviews !! Thanks to everyone who reads my Blogs - and especially to those who take the time to post comments and enter into conversations with me about the books I've read. The reason I chose to start my Blog was that I missed talking daily to my best friend Margo about the books I read and I missed bouncing my ideas off her. Although no one could replace my soul mate, my regular readers have done a fair bit to fill the gap that she left behind, and I am glad that I made the decision to start my Blog last year on what would have been Margo's birthday.

Talking of my spoilerish Blog, I've added a review of Louis Sachar's There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom to the Scholar's Blog Spoiler Zone.
