Blog Reader Appreciation Day 2009


After finally catching up on replying to the comments left on my blog in the last couple of weeks, I read on Becky’s blog, Becky’s Book Reviews, that today is Blog Reader Appreciation Day! This day was started a year ago by Robin at the OTHER mother and is an opportunity for bloggers to thank and celebrate their readers.

Like Becky, I had just been thinking that it’s really not that hard (or that time-consuming) to reply to comments and I want to do it in a more timely manner (say, closer to within two days rather than two weeks). I would hate for any of you to think that I don’t appreciate (or worse, don’t read) your comments. I do, I do! And I also appreciate all of you who read my blog but don’t comment (although I encourage you to do so!).

Thank you so much for reading my blog!

  5. Thanks, Missy! I just visited your blog and have signed up to follow you as well. Happy reading to you too!

    Cindy, that's OK too. It's impossible to comment on every single post! I know I'm hopelessly behind on reading posts, nevermind commenting on them all!

  8. I had no idea there was a Blog Reader Appreciation Day!

    I do try to respond to comments within a day or two, but sometimes life gets in the way and it takes a bit longer :)

    Thanks for the reminder to let our readers know that we're glad they visit!

  9. Thanks for letting me off the hook, Natalie (booklineandsinker)! I realized this week that much as I'd like to reply to comments within 48 hours, it's just not that realistic with the schedule I have. I do get around to it eventually though!

    Margaret (BooksPlease), thank you so much! I enjoy reading your blog as well!

    Dawn, I guess it wasn't very publicized, at least not within the book blogging world!
