I started blogging on the first of February, 2007....if you can call it blogging. Re-reading my early posts, I am not all that impressed. But as I relaxed and became more used to writing book reviews, things improved. And now I am addicted, and no longer am anxious about having enough readers (although I am rather addicted to having more readers, in a computer game addiction kind of way--every level beaten just leads to another level. Comments are gold pieces, and links back to my blog remind me of the mangos that one would occasionally receive in the 1980s computer game Doom--"My, that was a yummy mango," the computer would say).
Regardless of my personal issues, I looked back through my early posts to find the first review I wrote that I think is worth reading, so here, in honor of my four years of blogging, are my thoughts on Rules, by Cynthia Lord.
Happy third birthday, and I like what you wrote about 'Rules' - which I hadn't hread of, and maybe I'll now find and read!
ReplyDeleteDang - or is it fourth birthday? I was never much good at figures ;-(
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Birthday! The Blogosphere is lucky to have you!
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been blogging for quite some time. Congrats and Happy Blogiversary! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Birthday!!! I'm so glad you started this "little" blog here. I've been intending to read Rules since the time you blogged about it and still haven't done it. Maybe I should get on that.
ReplyDeleteHappy blog birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday. So glad to be following you
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy bloggy birthday!! I never remark upon mine as it passes because I am a little ashamed of my young, gauche, new-to-blogging self. :p
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteAnd I enjoyed your Rules review very much. I loved that book.
Happy Birthday. I love your blog because you totally focus on fantasy, one of the few book blogger sites I've found that does so. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you all, so much, for being my readers!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 4 years! I'm coming up on a blogoversary myself, next month.
ReplyDeleteGo, Charlotte! Your blog is a real gift to those of us who love children's fantasy--Happy Blogday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to the Blog!
ReplyDeleteAnd a big thanks to Charlotte for creating it!!
I have a mango for you!
ReplyDeleteI linked to you in a post on my blog on juvenile fantasy and block prints, and on my sidebar.
Happy Blog Birthday!

Happy belated Blog Birthday. Your posts are always worth reading.
ReplyDeleteHappy fourth blogoversary!! Here's to many more.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! I don't like my reviews when I look back on them, either... I am in my 6th year now and I still don't know if my reviews are that great half the time...
ReplyDeleteNow this comment becomes an extra belated blog birthday wish, but it's sincere! Happy Days!
ReplyDeleteI am super late to this, but congratulations! That is so exciting. And I have to say that yours is one of my favorite review blogs. So Happy Late Blog Birthday!
