Happy Blogiversary!


It's come to my attention that today is the 5th anniversary of my keeping this blog! 678 book reviews, 1195 blog posts,  3579 comments, 125420 page views, and I'm still going strong. This blog has seen me through several moves (from Brooklyn to Manhattan and then to Philadelphia) and several jobs, some of them with the same company. 2012 was a great year, and I hope that things continue to go well in 2013. If anybody is reading this, have a happy new year, and happy blogging to you, too!

A giveaway winner, and another giveaway

The winner of the Girl in a Blue Dress contest is... Anna, of Diary of An Eccentric ! My new contest is for a copy of The Shape of Mercy , by Susan Meissner. According to Publisher's Weekly : Meissner's newest novel is potentially life-changing, the kind of inspirational fiction that prompts readers to call up old friends, lost loves or fallen-away family members to tell them that all is forgiven and that life is too short for holding grudges. Achingly romantic, the novel features the legacy of Mercy Hayworth—a young woman convicted during the Salem witch trials—whose words reach out from the past to forever transform the lives of two present-day women. These book lovers—Abigail Boyles, elderly, bitter and frail, and Lauren Lars Durough, wealthy, earnest and young—become unlikely friends, drawn together over the untimely death of Mercy, whose precious diary is all that remains of her too short life. And what a diary! Mercy's words not only beguile but help Abigail and Lars...
