Thank You to My New Friend, Amy

I've been honored this year to be part of Book Blogger Appreciation Week, tirelessly organized by Amy from My Friend Amy. And I'm pleased now to be part of a coordinated effort to thank Amy for all of her hard work and community building. Trish from Hey Lady, Whatcha' Readin'? created the lovely image to the left, and Jennifer from The Literate Housewife Review sent me the following suggested thank you text:

This summer, after book blogging was patronized in the mainstream media, Amy from My Friend Amy made a suggestion that we celebrate book blogging.  From that idea, Book Blogger Appreciation Week was born.  Many of us have participated in interviews, contests, give-aways, and through awards; but, this would never have happened were it not for the dream, perseverance, planning, hard work and dedication of Amy.  This has been a wonderful week and as members of the Book Blogging community, in one voice we want to thank Amy for all that she has done.

Amy, you are truly the Queen of Book Bloggers and we love you!

I can't improve upon that. Thank you, Amy! It's been a great experience.
