ReplyDeleteAre you a writer? Then you MUST enter this CONTEST!
Michele - Thanks so much for the kind words and the shout-out *blush*. I'm very excited to be your guest. And I'm very excited about your upcoming blog-iversary competition. How way very cool! I will definitely be back to participate : ).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on one whole year!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe how many blog-iversaries there are out there. What posts of yours do I like. Well, I actually love your Sunday Foreign Posts but, this month you've had a wonderful Literary Movement Series. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCD
Happy Birthday to your blog!!
ReplyDelete#2 is easy. My favorite is your Literary Movement Series, in particular the posts on Lost Generation and Beat Generation. Very good.
ReplyDeleteI'll get back to #1 and #3 >:)
Cold As Heaven
I decided not to do any more blog fests (visiting multiple blogs wears me out, it seems rude not to), but since yours says Happy Birthday, and it is on September 24, which is the hubby's b'day, I can't resist. I will sign up for this one blog fest.
ReplyDeleteWhich one post of yours do I like above all others. Now that is a really tough one. I love your weekly round-ups, and I am loving your LM series, but let me think of something from a little longer ago. Unless I am mistaken, it was you that wrote about how old manuscripts became like security gates for us and how we clung onto them even after we outgrew them. If it was indeed you that wrote it, it must have really made an impact on me, because I remember it after all these months.
Hi! I signed up on the linky and added your button/link to my blog's sidebar (+3). I'll be including you in my announcement post this week (+2).
ReplyDeleteI'm a more recent subscriber to your blog, but I loved the Literary Movement Series. It was informative and I enjoyed how you incorporated the history of the time with the literature during the period. Your Gothic Literature post was what hooked me on your blog to begin with. (+2)
Will post my birthday story (+3) on the appropriate day. Thanks so much for hosting this. It sounds like a lot of fun!
Scribbler to Scribe

Signed up, and added yours to my page of Blogfests!
ReplyDeleteNo "Mr Linky"? Sign me up! How handy that it's right after my girl's 1st BDay? (Sept 22, party on the 19th)
ReplyDeleteBlogger hates me. We'll try this a 3rd time!
ReplyDeleteI have your button on my blog, I announced it on my blog, and then I almost forgot to submit my entry. How is that for fatigue?
Thanks for giving such a novel blogfest, Roland
