I was thrilled to discover (thanks, Rebecca) that Blogger chose my blog as a "Blog of Note" on Feb18th (yesterday).
Thanks Blogger, you rock!
Also, happy to see my friend David MacMahon's blog was nominated as well.
**an update** Just want to say a HUGE thank you to all of you who stopped by to leave your wishes. I am overwhelmed at the wonderful response and attention my rather humble blog has been receiving...thank you so very much! My whole aim in starting this blog was to spread the love of reading and to get involved with a reading community. I welcome all of you to my blog, please visit often. Thank you!
Congratulations Lotus! A well deserved recognition that doesn't surprise me or any of your readers!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being chosen as a Blog of Note. Whoever does the choosing was right to award you with the honor. I've enjoyed reading your most recent reviews of books. I checked out The Corpse Walker but found that the events in my life didn't allow me the time to read it. I'll have to give it another try. The Girl from Foreign sounds intriguing as well. I'll be back again to see what you read next!
ReplyDeletecongrats!! well done, im soo proud of u ....
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love WORDLES. They are cool. Nice job on yours.
ReplyDeleteGood evening,
ReplyDeleteAfter blogging all afternoon, my eyeballs are dried up & tired. I was getting ready to happily log off and join my family downstairs when I saw LOTUS READS in Blog of Note.
In Asian astrology, Lotus is my flower. I'm also a librarian. So I had to fly over and take a look-see.
What a fantabulous blog you have here.
I esp. enjoyed reading your Indian posts (I went to India in 2007).
I will have to join the crowd and follow along.
Glad to meet you.
Congratulations for being "A Blog Of Note"

ReplyDeleteI must tell you Lotus, your blog has actually motivated me to read MORE. I know it sounds shallow, but your blog makes reading look so cool and fun. As a librarian I often feel reading is just part of the job (like a tiresome chore). Thanks for rekindling my fondness!
