As a book lover of many years, the thought of a bookless (no print books) library makes me sad.
As the author of e-books, I realize an electronic library was inevitable. Now, it’s a reality in my home state of Texas. See the story here of San Antonio’s BiblioTech.
I’m blogging on PFHT today about the new year, being indulgent and attitudes. This month we’re celebrating our 4th anniversary and the beginning of our 5th year blogging. We’ve got new members and we’re giving away prizes nearly every day.
Don’t miss out. Come on over and join in the conversation.
Milestone! Oh, happy day! I just pulled up TweetDeck and discovered at some point recently I’ve surpassed 1000 Twitter followers . A little over 1100 actually. Wow. When did that happen? So, yeah. Gulp. Milestone surpassed. I know that, compared to a lot of people out there on Twitter this is small potatoes, but for me that’s a lot. I’m just a Southern woman posting from the hills of northern Arkansas, not a celebrity or anything.
On December 15th my sidebar widget indicated I have 1575 followers. Seriously? I figured it must be a mistake of some kind and ignored it. Now, it’s less than a month later, yet it says I have over 2300 subscribers! Whoever you wonderful people are, thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!!!
Have I become popular without knowing it? Did I do something stellar and not realize? I thought I was mostly talking to myself here because I get few comments. Geez. Now I feel pressure to be clever. Scintillating, even. I could become easily depressed from the pressure, but no! This is a good thing. Let’s celebrate.
What should I do? Have a party? Offer prizes? Fill the room with non-helium balloons? (Save the helium for MRI’s or whatever, right?) ;-0 What say you? Come on. Throw something out there. You never know, I might just follow your suggestion.
