HELP ME BLOW OUT THE CANDLE, FOLKS!! YOU GUYS ROCK!

It's my One year Blog(o)(i)versary!!! The powers that be will have to get that word into the dictionary soon so I can figure out how to spell it.

Here are my first few posts last December.

You can stop laughing any time.

Lots of amazing friends I've found, and SOO MANY AMAZING BOOKS I've found.. thanks to the wonderfulness of my follow rocking book bloggers.. so my bookshelves are now crammed and multipying at a pace I *almost* can't keep up with (bats eyelashes at hubby requesting another bookcase!)..

I wanted to say thank you to my followers, and my fabulous commenters, and the wonderful group of ladies that I've bonded with. Thank you for your support, your inspiration with your own blogs, and I look forward to 2010 with hopes for more fantastic reading!

Did that sound like an awards ceremony speech? (*bows*)

And isn't it WILD that one of my bestest biggest Fan, Ms. Lucy's Blog/i/o/versary was yesterday?! That is so wild about great minds and all that :) and JennyGirl's was this month's also! SO cool to be in good company! And check out this fantastic tag that Clare made me, from The Literary Omnivore:

Thank you so much to The Literary Omnivore, you are one of those gals that ROCK!
