Amazing. 10 years ago today, I began Thoughts of Joy. Like life, change in the book-blogging community has been inevitable, but for the most part my blog has maintained its initial intent . . . a record of my reading. I'm content with that.
Over the past 10 years, my literal reading has had its own ebbs and flows. I've reached record highs in my "Yearly Count" of books read, but during the last 2-3 years, I've backed down on reading paper books or even eBooks. Reading has become scarce due to my hobby of crocheting. I do continue to read everyday; it's just in very small bites. I'm happy with that.
The ability to listen to audiobooks (hence, multitask) makes me gleeful, and if I choose to pick up a book or an eBook -- my house and iPad are still overflowing with them. That has not changed.

Happy Reading to one and all! :)
