                I think this makes the third year so far and I am thrilled to have you join again. The first year, I began this on the virtual shelves and then move to the blog. Someone else has taken over the other ones.

                This is going to be a great year in books.

                I think it is too. I keep seeing books coming out that I just have to read.
