This past week marked the end of my first year of book blogging. It seems a fitting time to reflect back on this year, what I've liked, what I haven't, what I'd do differently, etc, etc.
I thought this blog would be strictly book reviews. A more elaborate version of keeping a running list of what I was reading. It is that, to some extent, but it also is a celebration of my love of all things bookish. It's also an opportunity to add my voice to the multitudes encouraging people to read books I have enjoyed, to (at times) critically examine problematic elements of books, to signal boost (in my small way) books that deserve a bit more attention.
I still get excited when someone comments on a post. I get really excited when one of my favorite bloggers mentions something I've said. I'm still having fun.I guess I'll keep posting (in a more or less regular fashion) until something changes :-)
Here are some of the best books I've read and reviewed while blogging:
A Happy Man, Hansjörg SchertenleibA Mercy, Toni MorrisonVisitation, Jenny Erpenbeck
The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories, Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Glad to hear that you're keeping up the enthusiasm after a year. It's not always easy, but it is worthwhile.
Happy Blogiversary!
I started out thinking my blog would be more than book reviews and its turned out to be the opposite.
I agree, comments are always exciting. And thanks for Frederick Douglass books. It's become one of my top 5.
Happy Anniversary!

Happy Blogoversary! I, too, am still having fun blogging, even after four years (for my first blog). So much so that I have twelve blogs. A bit much? lol
