My blogging year in a nutshell:
- Loss: When I got back from Thanksgiving vacation last year I was met with the news that beloved book blogger Dewey had passed away. Here's what I posted that day.
- Fun: I had fun coming up with 10 "D" things that I love when Chartroose challenged me to do it.
- Question: Do you cry in books or movies? That is what I asked my readers in this post and this poll.
- Fun: Another blogger wanted to know how my blog got it's name; I answer that question here.
- Issue: I aired my issues with last season's Dancing With The Stars contestants in this post. I love DWTS so their choice of "stars" last season was highly disappointing.
- Health: There were big changes in Kiddo's health this past year. I talk about the start of those changes here.
- Loss: When one of my favorite authors, David Eddings, passed away, I wrote about my love of his books.
- Award: I was so honored to win the BBAW Award for Best History/Historical Fiction Blog. Amazing!
- Event: My panel about book clubs at the Baltimore Book Festival was a resounding success!
- Reading: To help me get through the 2009 1% Well Read Challenge I decided to host a read-a-long for two of the books. Cranford and Frankenstein were the perfect choices for this and both were lots of fun!
- Health: Kiddo had surgery to put in a feeding tube. He's been doing great since then.
- Family: My gram is struggling through chemo right now but I'm enjoying sharing WWII-era books with her.
- Event: I had a blast as a "Storm Leader" for the release of the latest Wheel of Time book, The Gathering Storm.
- Challenge: I'm currently co-hosting the Really Old Classics Challenge which just began on 11/1/09.
