Welcome to bookchat where you can talk about anything...books, plays, essays, and audio books. You don’t have to be reading a book to come in, sit down, and chat with us.
A few weeks ago, Brecht mentioned that I was getting close to my 500th Bookflurries diary. Sure enough. Here it is.
I want to thank you all for making this happen!! Your wonderful comments have made this a fun place for me and I have a wish list that is a mile long. Thank you!
It is as if I had put a message in a bottle and sent it out to sea or tied a postcard on helium balloons and let them loose. I sent out a plea for someone to talk with about books and my plea was answered a hundred fold. Again, I thank you.
There are some older Bookflurries diaries that I am proud of and you might find some you would like to read by looking at the list. I am not sure how the DK5 changed the format of the old diaries. I am afraid to look.
I have two tags. In the beginning it had a colon and elfling asked me to remove it and change it to Bookflurries-Bookchat.
