It is acknowledging the work and thoughts that a book blogger took the time share.<BR/>What do I love about book bloggers? They keep opening doors, sometimes kicking them down and pointing us in the direction of something we might not of noticed. On the other side of the coin (and as a writer), they do the real work of spreading the "ya gotta read this!" word. Unbelievable. Far better than a review in a magazine with all its perfection and distilled emotion.<BR/>Book bloggers got it going on; they're honest and unafraid. And they assure us that there is no lack of books, that books (novels and etceteras) are alive and well!<BR/>What would I put on my blog (http://westcobich.wordpress.com) if I dared, or if I could express it?
