I like to open up my reviews page occasionally to read reviews (in that right-hand column) written by other members for books shared by my library. Reading book reviews brings me almost as much joy as reading books! Often, I have happily followed a good review to a members review page to read more of their reviews, thumbing-up the really good ones as I read.
Today, a new review at the top of that column was for 'The Day the Falls Stood Still', reviewed by you. A great review, it caused me to follow to your reviews page, again thumbing-up the really good ones as I read. As I scrolled back up the page, after finishing my reading, I noticed that every single little hand had turned green. I had ended up giving you a thumbs-up on EVERY review! That was a first for me!
Anyway, I thought it was kind of a cool happenstance. And serendipitously, I found several interesting books to add to my wishlist!
