  2. Hi Natasha,
    I got my book today in the mail, and I was very excited. Thanks a lot. I also was happy to finally get Rapunzel’s Revenge from the library. I hope it’s good. I just finished reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Ooh, it was very good. I highly recommend it if you haven’t read it yet.

  3. I nominated you. You were pretty much the first book blog I found, and I have loved everyone of your thoughtful reviews.

  4. Serena – I noticed that you had already been over over there!

    amy BTW M – Oh good! I hope you enjoy it, although I can’t remember which one that you won. I haven’t read The Hunger Games, thanks for the recommendation. I’ll go look it up right now.

    Mo – Hey, thanks! I didn’t know I was one of the first blogs you discovered either. I’m just coming up on my one year anniversary and sometimes I feel like I’m just getting started.

  5. Hey Natasha This has nothing to do with voting best blog but I thought you might be interested in this very sweet book I just finished. It’s called Little Heathens by Mildred Armstrong Kalish. My sister and I both listened to it on CD and loved it. A memoir of Mildred growing up during the late 30’s and 40’s. I thought of you because of all the great “old” time recipes in it.

  7. Thanks for sharing this with your readers. As of today we have 37 nominations in the Best Literature Blog category. That’s a great start, but I know there are other excellent literature blogs that should be nominated.

    Anything you or your readers can do to spread the word in the your community is appreciated!

For some reason, Askimet Spam is giving me a lot of false positives. Even to those who have left me many comments before. So if you leave a comment, hit submit, and it seems to go the way of the wind, don't resubmit it. I'll catch it and publish it. Also, if you leave 2 or more links in your comment, it automatically goes into moderation. I'll catch that too.

I love and invite your comments. I thrive on them. But by posting a comment, you agree to not post off topic, defamatory, obscene, abusive, or use language that is not family friendly. I have the right to remove such comments and prevent you from leaving comments in the future. That said, comment away!
