It's a girl!
Top Ten Tuesday is a bookish feature hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl
It's been awhile, but this topic was too good to pass up. When I thought about it, I genuinely could not recall which were the first ten books I actually reviewed here on the blog. So then, of course, I had to know. The thing is, I originally started the whole thing simply posting a once a month list of my favorite reads and rereads of the month. That went on for some time until lo and behold I went ahead and wrote and posted my first review on November 9, 2007.

Do you remember the first book you ever reviewed (in any forum) or what made you take the plunge? Here are my first ten (and I have to say, looking at this snapshot from the past, these remain some of my absolute favorite authors and a pretty spot-on array of the genres I read and love tod…

Eek! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I'm thrilled. I bet Will is excited. I am so happy for you....which is odd because I'm pretty sure I would have been just as happy if it had been a boy, but for some reason now that I know it is a girl it seems like I'm more happy that it is!.....hmmmm, did that make sense....anyway.....YAAAAAY! I hope she looks just like you. I can't wait to hear ideas for girl names!
ReplyDeleteHope to see you in Malad in a couple of weeks, but if not, I am crashing on your couch for a night this summer! It's been way too long since I've seen you and been able to really chat.
Thanks, Martha! I'm still a bit amused by how surprised I was. Subconsciously I must have been expecting it to be a boy. Now I'm thinking of all the books I'm going to share with my girl.
ReplyDeleteLiz, it was the funniest thing. Will was dead certain it was a girl all along. When we found out it was he grinned at us and said, "I told you!"
Will and I are planning on being in Malad to see you. But you still have to crash on our couch this summer. Enough is enough!
Yippee! How exciting! When is the little girl due to make her arrival??? Oh dear, I'm going to have to make her some jewelry now! :) Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristi! How are you feeling? She's due August 7th or thereabouts. Ooh, jewelry. We love jewelry!
ReplyDeleteAwwww...Congrats! :)
ReplyDeleteThree words: Hooray for girls!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYea!!! 'Tis the season for girls. My brother's wife is having a girl on the 2nd of August and my cousin is having a girl on the 5th of August.
ReplyDeleteShe is going to be soooooo cute! Yea for girls and yea for big brothers like Will!
Thanks, you guys! It does seem to be the season of the girl.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Ang! You are going to love her soooo much.
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm so happy you're having a girl. I bet you are too. smile.
