Two Lists for Thanksgiving from MsWas

November 27, 2015 by MsWas 7 Comments

I’ll give you something to be thankful for….

Things I am thankful for:

  • Family
  • Books
  • Cannonballers
  • Books
  • Jr. Cannonballers
  • Diana Gabaldon
  • CBR Book Exchanges
  • Rainbow Rowell
  • Inspector Gamache
  • Pumpkin pie
  • Books

Things I’d like to say “no thanks” to:

  • Spam comments
  • Hotlinking bastards (who cost us $20 and group blog downtime)
  • Manual leaderboard updates (curse you, PHP!)

I’m most thankful that the first list is longer than the second, and that’s because of you, Cannonballer. Well, you and books. We’re having a fantastic year so far, and I’m excited for some new things coming up to make Cannonball Read 8 our biggest year yet.

Thanks to everyone who is participating, reviewing, sharing, and commenting. Also a huge, HUGE, thank you to CBR volunteers: emmalita, yesknopemaybe, scootsa1000, ModernLove, Caitlin_D, Bothari43, Alexis, and faintingviolet, who are helping with a multitude of things to promote and make CBR stronger and more powerful than ever.

Happy Thanksgiving! May it be filled with books!

    Happy Thanksgiving to MsWas and thank you for the amazing work you do. I’m not American, but I’m thankful for this blog and for this community of readers, many of whom I consider my friends, even though I’ve not met most of you. Book blogging, reading, discussing books with all of you, it makes my life better. Thank you all for being here.
