What a list. I didn’t go through all of them but you have some great ones. When I saw the book Uglies in your sidebar I looked at your “about me page” to see where you were located. The cover of Uglies is different there than here in the U.S. I love looking at the different covers. I will be checking out your blog more often as you seem to be up on so many books for so many levels. Great site.

Sandra, Thank you for commenting on my blog for the first time! I’m pleased that you found this post useful.

I also love seeing different covers for books, but it often leads to trouble when I walk into a book shop and don’t recognise the book I’m looking for as I’m so used to seeing the US cover on other blogs!

I look forward to sharing bookish comments with you in the future.

Great summary of posts! I liked some on the “how to” posts – I am new to blogging and hungry for information.

I also like how you mix your posts with commentary, book reviews and memes – it really adds variety to the site and makes me want to come and see what is in store each day. Great job!

Wow – what a productive weekend you’ve had! I’m impressed with the amount of discussion and good advice these past posts of yours have had (and many made me smile). I’d missed most of the posts since I found the blog late last year; the past posts I’ve looked up have generally been book reviews for books I’ve either read or are interested in reading. Thanks for compiling this!

Mome Rath, Book reviews are quite easy to find on my blog now that I have the A-Z list, so it is good to know that you found this post useful for finding my other types of post. Thank you for the kind words!
