Happy New Year

From all of us here at The Raving Readers!

Wishing everyone the best of the coming year, in all aspects of your life. And, of course, more good books and more time to read them.

Counting My Blessings

I stayed up late last night, when the house is quiet and everyone else is asleep, to think over 2009 and to give thanks for the blessings I've received. In this busy world of ours, I think this is a good exercise, because in the hustle and bustle, we usually forget to be thankful to the Almighty God or whoever you worship (or even if you don't worship anyone) for the good things that have come our way.

So, to name a few:

1. Family.

2. For good friends without whom this blog would not be possible. 'Nuff said.

3. Good books that helped while away the time spent commuting to and from work, that saved me from utter boredom, that transported me to exciting, imaginary worlds with sexy (both inward and outward), gorgeous, to-die-for heroes. We always need more good books. More time, too.

Enough about me. What are the things you're thankful for in 2009?

Holiday Greetings

Soon, 2009 is ending, and 2010 is upon us. New year's resolutions, anyone? I'm not good with those, so I'll forego them this year. No use thinking and making some, only to find I can't keep them at all before January is even over. What I'll do instead, is to think over 2009 and count my blessings.

In tomorrow's post, we'll be featuring the January 2010 books that we here at The Raving Readers are looking forward to.
