Lotus you are a force of nature! You have been going strong for so long. (I'm trying to get back into blogging after a hiatus.) You're an inspiration.

HI, Diya!

If you look at my previous "Vegemite Vindaloo and Giller Prize post" you will read about the giveaway!

well, I wish I had 'met' you earlier this week. I have enjoyed most Giller winners that I have read, so would have joined in the contest. However, bookfool is an excellent choice for a winner, so I shan't complain. Booklogged mentioned she met you on her trip and spoke very highly of you and your visit.
I'll come by and visit you here. Nice to meet you.

Hi, Raidergirl!

Yes, I, too, wish we had "met" earlier, but hopefully there will be more Giller Prize giveaways!

Booklogged is such a darling, she has something wonderful to say about everyone, it was so great meeting her and Candleman!

I will visit you often too, thanks so much for stopping by!
