Other Favorite Experiences:

Having Lisa See retweet a link to my review of her book, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.

Every time I wake up in the morning with about a dozen emails relating to my blog activities (x person repinned your pin, you've been approved for x book on NetGalley, 3 comments need moderation on your blog, and someone retweeted a link to your latest review).

Every time something completely unexpected happens (like when an author responds to your tweets).

Whenever I look at the map of visitors on my blog's sidebar and see a person from place I've never been looking at my blog. It's a bit surreal.

As you can see, pretty much every day something happens that makes me glad I started this blog and maintained it for a year: hopefully, this blog will continue to be a place to wander through books in the years to come.
