Happy New Year, all!

I am very pleased to start out 2005 with some good news. BookBlog is a finalist in the Best Literary/Book Blog category for The Best of Blog Awards 2004.

BookBlog was created as a place for good friends to discuss books in an intimate setting. I never expected there to be much interest in it beyond the members. With the popularity of The Gender Genie, many others have taken notice of our tiny spot on the Internet.

Thanks so much to all of you for making this a wonderful place. I've learned about many books and authors I would have otherwise walked right by in the bookstore. I now find myself giddily looking forward to getting my hands on each new selection. Thanks also to DirtyTalkinGirl for nominating us.

We're in good company, so you'll want to pay the other nominees a visit. There are so many good book places to be found.
