Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.
Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.

I enjoy reading your yearly lists. Would you consider including a 1-5 rating? My reading friend and I have decided to give each other a list of our yearly reads and highlight the ones we recommend. We talk while we are reading but often don't just want to stop and start something and then we forgot.
