First, I want to thank everyone for coming–it’s readers like you that make this so worthwhile.
This definitely includes the publishers who were kind enough to send me review copies: Interweave Press (who were very generous indeed), XRX Books, Nomad Press, Voyageur Press, Wiley Publishing, Ten Speed Press, Potter Craft, Rustling Leaf Press, and Watson-Guptill Publications. Not to mention the individual authors who made sure I got copies of their books. Yes, I did buy some books of my own this year, and yes, I wrote reviews from my existing collection, but a great proportion of the newer books were given as review copies and I am very grateful.
Also, thank you to the authors who let me interview them–it was great fun every time. Wendy D. Johnson, Clara Parkes, and Janel Laidman. These are such a treat, I must do more interviews in 2010.
Mostly, of course, thank you for reading (grin).
