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 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 a few by name this year—Lola’s Blog Tours, iREAD Book Tours, Bloodhound Books, Tracy Fenton at Compulsive Readers, Love Books Group, Let’s Talk Promotions, Lori Hettler of TNBBC Publicity and Emma at damppebbles blog tours. You 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.

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.

And a blessed Thanksgiving to you too.
Right now I’m doing good to just stay awake on the couch. We haven’t even started cooking either 😀

Sounds like a good start to the day. 🙂
Enjoy!!

I love this! I hope your Thanksgiving was very Ron-esque. ?
HCNewton
A little too Ron-esque, honestly. Hope yours was good, too!

It was! Good company, good food…I managed to punch myself in the face: typical holiday. ?
HCNewton
Uhhh huh. Hope there’s at least a good story to that.

I’m ridiculously clumsy. Someone was teasing me so I jokingly put my fists up in boxing style. My husband pushed on my fist, but I didn’t expect it so it bopped me in the face. Ha ha!
HCNewton
Oof!
