Happy Birthday, Book Chase

I just realized that Book Chase is officially a year old today and thought that I should at least mention the milestone because when I started the blog a year ago I honestly never expected to last even this long. But after having made some 460 posts that generated more than 3100 comments and a long list of new "bookish" friends, I want to say how much fun that all of this has been for me.

I really appreciate the fact that so many of you stop by to check out what's been posted, and I especially appreciate that so many people take the time to comment on what I've had to say...whether or not they agree with me. The world of book blogging has been a revelation to me and I only wish that I had discovered it a few years sooner than I did because I can't remember ever being more excited about my personal reading or the book world, in general. We have a great little community going and I feel blessed to be a part of it.

Year Two, here I come, ready or not...

    Happy Blogday Book Chase. I have really enjoyed your posts this past year, I've discovered all sorts of interesting things here, and thanks to you, have tried out some authors new to me.
    Roll on year 2!

    Happy Blogiversary! I agree-blogging about books has really affected my personal reading. I think I read more closely now, looking for notable things about the book, etc. And I'm even more excited when I read a good book now, because I have so many people to share it with!

    Happy Birthday! I was surprised to find that your blog is only a year old, you seem too practiced at it to only have a year under your belt. Great job!
