You Can’t Steal Our Sunshine

This has been a difficult week for many of us out here in book blogging land.  Up until now, I have not weighed in on it, but I’ve been following it very closely.  I wish I had something eloquent to say, but others have written down my thoughts before I got the chance and I champion them for fighting the good fight.

With a the exception of a couple of bumps along the road, it has always been a joy and a privilege to be a part of this community.  I love what I do and what we do together so much and I have not met one book blogger yet who has purposefully tried to be or do anything ugly.  Still, in this life things are bound to occur when more than one human is involved.  So, I vow to try my best to gracefully accept my lumps do everything I can to sooth others when they receive theirs.  Please feel free to email me if ever you need me.

I won’t let the bastards steal our sunshine!

unless it’s to provide us with a gorgeous sunset to remind us of how beautiful life is [over Lake Huron taken by my beautiful cousin Diana]…

    A very strange post to stumble by on my way back, but I’m kinda glad to miss the brouhaha.

    Unfortunately I was not so lucky with the Motrin/baby wearing debacle. Sigh.

    Hope all is well! :)

                Check It Out: The Fortieth Door Review

                I have a review up today! Yay! But it’s not here. It’s over at Project Gutenberg Project where I (and others) review old timey public domain books.
