Received some great books in the mail this week to mix in with the above

My Good News:

ArmChairBEA was a great success and if you didn’t get a chance to participate, you really need to get over there and check out all of the great contributors. Like Arnold, it will pump you up!

From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of the organizers and participants last week. It was a tour de force and I am grateful that I was able to be a part of it.

Showing My Virtual Love for The ArmChairBEA Organizers

by Gwen

Many of us were given a great gift this week by attending the #armchairBEA. 5 wonderful women had an idea and it not only came to fruition, it dazzled many of us all week.

Personally, I met  more bloggers that think a lot like I do than I have come across in all the years that I have been doing this. There were so many times that I said to myself, “Why have I never met this blog or person before, I really like them!”

I learned, I laughed, I explored all of the wonderful different paths that brought us all to having a similar passion. I am energized, pumped up, and maybe just a wee bit tired, but mostly just grateful that I was included and astounded at what they created.

I have very little to give in thanks other than words, but to go along with my usual Showing Your Love Of Books post, I would give these gifts to you if it were in my power,
