I've only been a member since October. Being a member has changed my life. Yeah, I had a book published and all that, but it's a lifeless accomplishment without people.

Via Goodreads, these people from all walks and all sensibilities and tastes have made themselves known, floating through cyberspace to my page... people like Jim, a librarian here, who farms horses and works with computers and read my short stories and shared all kinds of valuable knowledge. And Michael whom I just met today and wrote one of the most astounding "About Me" biographies on his blog that I've EVER READ. All these complicated, unique, fascinating human beings breaking down the walls that surround me and touching my life!

The minute I joined Goodreads, I felt at home. More than Twitter, Wordpress, Blogger, Facebook--here is where I felt at home. Safe. Confident. For this I am thankful. Happy Thanksgiving from my home at Goodreads.
