I’m having an ever growing reading list, and I don’t think I’m going to have time to read what you recommend, but I never miss your book reviews. So thank you for that, for the interesting book reviews, and for mentioning me 🙂

It’s impossible to catch up on reading, but I’m glad you’re able to pick out a few things that interest you. Last week was just saturated with writing related posts. One day I will check out that fantasy city generator. I love drawing maps, but cities are not my favorite.

Thanks for the mention, Kat =) As I look at these posts of yours, it gives me added motivation to check out other people’s blogs. I used to be great at it but have fallen out of the habit of strolling around the blog-o-sphere. Definitely need to get back to it!

Always happy to! There are so many interesting blogs and posts out there, but I can certainly see how other things can get in the way of exploring.

Well, how the heck have I missed so many of your posts lately?! I guess my brain has been on stressing because we need to find a house closer to my husband’s office and I somehow skimmed by some of my favorite blogger’s posts lately. Too much googling of homes, mortgage rates, real estate news and who knows what else! Thanks for the share! Heading over to check some of these links as well.

I completely understand! We’re looking to get a house in the next few years and my husband is already driving me nuts with numbers and addresses. But I’ve also noticed I’ll see an email notification of a post, but I won’t see it on the Reader and vice versa. I have a feeling I’ve been missing out on a lot, too.
