Happy Thanksgiving/Turkey Day/Thursday
(depending on your location/preference)
When I think about all the great things that have happened around the blog and behind the scenes this year leaves me at a loss for words, let me list a few things I’m thankful for — a very incomplete list, I assure you:
-
- The readers of this blog, the authors who’ve corresponded with me/provided books for me to read/encouraged me — even promoted this here project. The messages of support/care/encouragement that we received from you all when my son got his kidney were inexpressibly helpful.
- The publicists, publishers, book tour hosts, etc. I’ve been working with this year who’ve especially made things great — I typically hesitate to mention any by name, so as to not inadvertently miss anyone and cause offense (and make me feel bad). But I want to mention two by name this year — Lori Hettler of TNBBC Publicity and Emma at damppebbles blog tours. You two have expanded (and pushed) my boundaries this year, exposed me to some great reads I’d have not tried, and put up with my quirks and memory lapses with grace.
- Books
- Authors!
- Books
- Coffee (and other beverages both caffeinated and adult)
- Books
- Time to read

- Audiobooks and talented narrators
- The Nampa Public Library (and The LYNX! Consortium) — and their generous grace period
- Books
- Rediscovered Books and Libro.fm

- Goodreads, WordPress, NetGalley, BookLikes
- Books
- Evernote (but you’re making it harder)
- Books
- Organ Transplants (just to get serious for a moment)
- Authors!
- Authors!
My supportive, understanding and encouraging wife and kids who do a pretty decent job pretending to care when their old man drones on and on about what he’s reading or what’s going on with the blog.
- Again, all of you who read, follow, like, tweet, comment, email, etc. this page — you have no idea how much every little bit is appreciated.

So Booklikes is still hanging on then. I guess they should be thankful no one has pulled life support! 😀
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

been an unnerving amount of time without a hiccup over there, actually.
Hope you and yours have a good Thanksgiving, too.
