OMG !!! 200!!

I can't believe it !!   I just became a member of the 200 club !!   I have 200 followers.   I am truly amazed !!  A bit of history for my newest followers.   I stumbled onto a book blog back around September/October.   Didn't even know this world existed.   I clicked on their blogroll list and found more blogs, and kept clicking.   I was outside looking in.   I was inspired to create a page as a personal journal.   That alone was a miracle since I am not computer savvy at all.    The more blogs I found, the more I wanted to connect and become part of this neighborhood that had the same love as me, books !!   So I started out slowly, entering challenges, participating in memes.  My "personal journal" went public around November.   Then some very kind and experienced bloggers encouraged me to start accepting requested reviews.   My first one was in December.  And since then...as they say...is history.   I NEVER, NEVER thought that my blog would be where its at, with so many kind people that actually take the time to visit.   This weekend is truly special, not only am I  hosting my first ever giveaway but I have 200 book blogging friends.......So to all of my 200 followers, I say........
