It's been one year and two days for Pretty Sinister Books in the blogosphere. I missed the big one year anniversary. Life is too busy these days. So Happy Belated Birthday to the blog!Just wanted to take the time to thank all those who are now regular readers and specifically the two people who welcomed me so warmly and openly (Bev and Yvette, that's you). Without all the many comments and varied insights I would've thrown in the towel long ago. That this is such a success is a constant surprise and delight to me. Thanks for coming back day after day.
John, congratulations! This is one of the most informative mystery blogs and I simply love reading it, even though I rarely find something original to add in the comments.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation John. Here to many more interesting posts.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations John! It's been a pleasure reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! And many, many returns!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your one year anniversary, John!
ReplyDeleteYou have placed an enormous burden on our bookshelves and wish lists with this blog. ;)
Happy, Happy! I'm so glad you've decided to stick around. I love your blog. I don't often feel knowledgeable enough to say much in return for all your insightful and wonderful reviews, but they are muc appreciated!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first anniversary, John!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, John. Carry on! I've learned an enormous amount from your reviews and look forward to each one. However, you're going to have to bear the cost of the house addition, since my TBR pile has increased exponentially since I started reading your blog. Many happy returns of the day.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, John! I can't tell you how much I enjoy reading your reviews. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights. Who knew that murder and mayhem could inspire such a labor of love?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, John. You've been educational and inspirational to lovers of the mystery genre.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realised out birthdays were quite so close as there must be just a few days in it - congrats John, your blog remains as refulgent and as instructive as ever - well done mate.

Thanks, everyone! Hope I can keep up the wild pace as I did last year. I will strive to balance between the ultra obscure and the merely overlooked.
ReplyDeleteThis year something new: Many books already reviewed and those soon to be reviewed will be put up for sale. Time for many of these books to move on to some other mystery lover's household.
Congratulations. You're one of the sites that's on my must-read list.
ReplyDeleteBelated happy anniversary, John! Pretty Sinister has become pretty essential reading for me, as it has for many others. Here's to Year Two!
ReplyDeleteJohn: Congratulations! My time as a blogger is almost exactly the same as your time. I look forward to year two of your posts.
ReplyDeleteA toast to the first year anniversary of my favourite blog! Now if I could only get my hands on some of the books you feature...
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, John, sorry I'm late to the party - as usual. Congratulations on your blog landmark!
ReplyDeleteIt was easy to welcome you m'dear, we love your take on oldies but goodies. Plus we all know you're a peach. :)
