I was stunned and very pleasantly surprised this morning to discover this blog coming fourth on a list of 'The UK's Top 10 Children's Literature Blogs', which can be seen here. Steel Thistles will come up for its first anniversary in November: around this time last year I was still angsting about whether to start a blog at all, and whether I really had enough to say in it. In fact, I've found great pleasure this year in rambling on about all the things I love in children's literature, folklore and fantasy. And I've made many new friends!
And so this seems a good moment to say 'thankyou' to all of you who read this blog and take the time to exchange opinions with me. I value and appreciate your time, your expertise, your thoughtful comments. Without you, I would be talking to myself. Thanks for stopping by!
Congratulations, Katherine! That is AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am purring for you. Thankyou for coming to visit me during the year as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It is a well deserved honour.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, and how much I enjoy visiting your blog and many others I've discovered this year.
ReplyDeleteSurprising to you perhaps but not to any of us who have the pleasure of reading it. Congratulations and well-deserved!
