I truly believe that there is always, ALWAYS something to be grateful for—no matter what. Sometimes you have to look a little harder to find those blessings, but they're ALWAYS there :)

Have a lovely time celebrating your American Thanksgiving! Blessings to you and yours. And, of course, thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting!

I totally agree with that. I am thankful for so many things in my life, even if on some days I moan, I then remind myself how blessed I really am. Thanks for your wishes. We will celebrate on Saturday since this is a regular work day here.

Wish you a great Thanksgiving! 🦃

I survived! It was crazy busy, but there were cashiers at all the registers plus two self checkouts, so things moved pretty quickly. Phew!

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! And thanks for popping in and commenting.

It really has been such a pleasure to be part of this community of readers and reviewers. I love it!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam. Have a wonderful holiday!

I just really love interacting with other readers and bloggers. It's so fun! Sometimes when I talk about books in my real life, I feel like I'm talking to myself. It's nice to be able to have a conversation about my favorite subject—even if it is virtual.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Deanna!

I agree. I like the simplicity of Thanksgiving. It helps that I rarely have to cook anything and I just get to enjoy and help with clean up (even that is fun because it's done while visiting and laughing together).

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Nicole! Enjoy your holiday.

Aww, thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, T! Enjoy your holiday.

Awww, thanks! I do try to keep things positive and upbeat around here. Around me everywhere, actually. That's just how I am :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Helen!

I agree. It's been so much fun to be a part of the book blogosphere. I love that it's a community of like-minded people, each of whom has their own individual style and preferences. The variety is awesome!

Thanks for popping by, Lindsey. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

Welcome, Anne! I'm so glad you stopped by. I always enjoy reading your posts :) Thanks for popping in!

That's so kind of you to say, Lori! Lots of bloggers mentored me when I first started, so I like to pay it forward :)

I did make it out of Costco and it wasn't really that bad. Definitely one of the more pleasant trips I've done during Thanksgiving week. I am glad to have it over with for another year, though.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lori. Enjoy your holiday!

It's so nice, isn't it? Especially when your IRL community doesn't include raving book lovers who just GET you. It's fun that we can all gather in this wonderful book blogosphere. I love it!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cindy. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Right? Even if a book really doesn't sound like my "thing," if one of my trusted book blogging buddies raves about it, I'm going to give it a try. I've found lots of great books I wouldn't have tried otherwise with this method :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Leslie. Enjoy your holiday!

You too, Tanya! Enjoy your holiday.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting!

Ha ha. I did get pies—one pumpkin and one pecan. I usually get two pumpkin, but we've got fewer people coming this year. Even still, I'm wondering if I got enough...

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

Right? It's definitely been a lifeline in difficult times for a lot of us.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Leah!

Yes, there's always SOMETHING to be thankful for! I love that Thanksgiving encourages us to focus on gratitude. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday, too.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cheryl!

Thanks, Pam! We're planning to eat, visit, play card games, and maybe even take a walk between dinner and pie. We'll see if we can get ourselves off the couch. Ha ha.

Enjoy your holiday!

Thank you so much, ladies! I hope you have a wonderful holiday as well. Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting. I appreciate it :)

I've really loved being a part of this community over the years. It's changed and grown, but it's still such a fun, nurturing, welcoming place to be. I adore it!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kami. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Same. I've felt welcomed and understood from the moment I started my blog. It's been a lot of fun to be a part of the community.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Greg. Happy Thanksgiving!

"Humbling" is a great way to put it. I'm still surprised—and thrilled—that so many of you take time out of your busy lives to visit my little blog. It truly is humbling.

Thanks for popping in!

I love getting comments, so I always make an effort to comment on other people's posts. It's just nice to know that someone is reading and appreciating what you're writing. I also like that we're able to have a conversation through comments.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Alex. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thanks, Wendy! We had a nice holiday. I hope you did as well.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting!

It was wonderful. Very relaxed. All I cooked was a green bean casserole and that's so easy it hardly counts!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Carla!

I'm so glad! Interacting with all of you makes me very happy :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, RS!

Agreed. It does take time to read blogs and make thoughtful comments, but it's so worth it for me. I like making other people happy and I love it when they reciprocate. It's one of the most fun parts about book blogging for me.

Thanks for popping in, Rissi!

Same! I was so happy when I found this community all those years ago. It's been a real joy for me to be part of it.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Suzanne!
