On July 9, 2009, I told my wife i was starting a webpage on which I would post brief notes on what I read. She asked me what will you do if no one reads your posts. I thought
then it will be a miracle if I keep this going three months.
Now ten years have passed. My posts have been viewed 5,715,663 times. There are currently 3,569 posts on The Reading Life.

My Blog has come to mean a great deal to me. It helped me get through dark times. It has brought me into contact with many people. It makes me feel less alone.
I have expanded my reading into areas i once knew nothing about. Now Reading and Blogging are intermingled.
If anything is of lasting value on my Blog it is the 100 Q and A sessions with authors.
I give my great thanks to those who have taken the trouble to leave comments. You help keep me going. I thank Max u for The Amazon Gift Cards that have helped me so much.
I am inclined to say more but...
If i am blessed with ten more years, i hope I am deeply into writers and Reading areas that as of now i have never encountered.
To my fellow book bloggers, the greatest readers in the world, keep blogging.

Congratulations to 10 years of blogging! I agree with you. It is such a wonderful thing and bring you in contact with people around the world. It is also a great way to keep track of your reading. Keep going. I have to wait for 2022 until I reach 10 years.
