I still feel sorta new at blogging (almost two years) so I do care about 100 posts. That calls for a toast!

My readers also send me reading ideas, articles, and news on translations.Lisa C.

(also, yeah...certain authors blurb EVERYTHING.) and thanks for the eat, pray, love reminder as well. i think i heard that somewhere before but i'd forgotten about it till now. i don't have real plans to read the book, but if i do i'm not going to be able to stop thinking about that advance book deal.ellenhttp://fatbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-87570845729588193842010-09-14T15:56:18.183-05:002010-09-14T15:56:18.183-05:00Congratulations on your 100th post!

Argh. Led astray...<br /><br />I've got Lamb on my nightstand and am trying to figure out when to read it -- hopefully soon!<br /><br />I don't normally pay attention to any authors who are quoted on another book as "recommendations." I've found that respected authors are quoted on everything and when I've jumped on a book because of that, I've more oftentimes been disappointed than rewarded. Or, I also found that Stephen King recommends everything. Seriously, I bet he's even going to show up on a Sophie Kinsella book soon.Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.com
