T.S. Eliot: Here’s to the New Voices & New Beginnings

Reading Is My Escape

Um . . . Congratulations to My Blog?

These days, I assume everything is a scam. 

A trick to make you click. 

Any email that starts, “Congratulations,” is a giant red flag. 

But I did briefly look into this listing of 100 Best Children’s Book Blogs, according to Feedspot, and it seems legit enough.

Or not, I don’t know. 

Probably not.

But they did create this badge and, okay, I’ll share it.

Look at me, me, me. 

Anyway, about ye olde blog: 

Been doing it since 2008. I basically never upgrade or fancify. There’s some good stuff here if you did around (clicking on categories is probably the best approach). I’ve been answering Fan Mail on here for a long, long time — that is, sharing a few selected Fan Mail & Replies over the years. It adds up. 

My assumption is: no one cares & I do it anyway. Which has been my general writing motto for a long, long time. 

Carry on!
