Part of the fun of picking up a stack of books is checking to see how many Georgia counties are represented in the group. Surprisingly sometimes tiny libraries have books that other, much larger ones don't. In these reduced budget times, I suspect much depends on what readers in the community donate.

The online community has considerably enlarged my reading lists too and given me a tribe of intelligent, funny reading friends who love romance as much as I do. I'm so glad you are part of that group.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-43128223329289301522012-11-25T14:07:45.853-05:002012-11-25T14:07:45.853-05:00Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday I thin...Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday I think. It sounds like a great idea to count your blessings at least once a year.<br /><br /><i> When I count my blessings Thursday, you will be among them. Thank you. </i><br />I never thought of myself as a blessing before. Hey, I quite like it!<br /><br />For me, justjanga is the book blog par excellence. It provides a satnav to guide me through the complex terrain of romance literature, always following the high-road to enlightenment, illuminated with a purity of spirit and love and skilfully avoiding the morass of meaningless sensual indulgence.<br /><br />In the domain of fiction, you are definitely one of our blessings Janga.<br />Long may it continue! *smile*Quantumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686409685564115213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-31814268701141517112012-11-22T11:03:15.164-05:002012-11-22T11:03:15.164-05:00Janga, Happy Thanksgiving! Our family celebrates ...Janga, Happy Thanksgiving! Our family celebrates today, and I'm watching the Macy's parade as I type this. The Pikachu and Spongebob floats and the Power Rangers Megaforce unit took me back to the boy's childhood, which included all those characters at one time or another. He's home until Sunday, which is the best part of the holiday for the dh and me.<br /><br />I loved your survey of your keeper shelves. I, too, have thousands of keepers. <br /><br />You have better luck at the library than I do. Our public library doesn't keep genre paperbacks very long, alas. Thanks to cutbacks, they don't buy nearly as much fiction as they once did.<br /><br />I wish you the best in your quest for publication. I firmly believe persistence is key.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!Nancy Northcotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223226786134462222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-11149049784922663172012-11-21T11:45:55.969-05:002012-11-21T11:45:55.969-05:00I will be celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday wit...I will be celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday with the DH's family and on Saturday with my side. One of the biggest things I'm thankful for - an overabundance of family!<br /><br />Bookly blessings...hmmm. First and foremost I would have to say just the fact that I found enjoyment in reading again. I had gone so long without reading and then it was like stumbling upon treasure after treasure after treasure. <br /><br />Then I would have to say the internet because that just blew the top off of the access I had to everything - authors, new and old; any genre of book I could imagine; and most importantly all of the awesome, awesome friends I've met over the years that share my love of romance reading.<br /><br />I am especially grateful for you, Janga, who have steered me toward so many HEAs I've lost count!<br /><br />Have a truly happy and blessed Thanksgiving!irisheyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730974733998991144noreply@blogger.com
