Contest winner, and a note on longevity

Things have been quiet here this past week:  I've been getting over a cold (one that lasted close to three months and is finally almost gone); I've been taking care of another stray kitten that's somehow worked her way into our house; and I've had so many other deadlines that I haven't felt much like posting.

But without further delay, the winner of Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's An Embarrassment of Riches is Ashley.  Congratulations - I'll be in touch via email, and I hope you'll enjoy the book!

(There were two anonymous entries, which I was unable to count, for obvious reasons... but I appreciate your stopping by!)

Also, on another personal note, last Friday was my 5th blogiversary.  Originally I had plans to do a bigger celebration for it, maybe a contest or something, but then Real Life got in the way.  So I'll simply say thanks to all of you for reading my site, commenting, linking, even lurking.  Getting to set down my thoughts about books and having people read and react to what I write - what blogger could ask for more than that?
