Thank you, Miss Em, for naming House of Dance one of your top ten reads of the year. I know how much you read. I know how graced that recommendation feels.
Mari, thank you for naming House of Dance as one of your favorite books of the year. I am in such tremendous company in your list. I'm ... astonished!
To Becca, who writes one of the smartest book blogs in cyberspace—her idea of a review being my idea of a review, her tastes often mirroring mine—thank you for giving me a set of butterfly wings in your latest post. To Lilly for so sweetly acknowledging me in her own blog, and for entering this community so gracefully. To Tapestry100, for being such a kind supporter of Into the Tangle of Friendship, and for naming it one of his favorite books of the year.
To Sherry, who not only raised the remarkable Miss Erin we all love, but who also leaves exquisite comments on this blog—thoughtful comments.
And thank you, Lenore, for your rocking yesterday honor. You are your own tour de force in this wide web world. I'm honored to count you as a friend.

Hi Beth.
I am just dropping a notice that I have given you Premio Dardos award. Like I said before, I really enjoy your blog.
Oh, Lilly. Thank you. It's all these positive things you do for others that get you through what you must for yourself.
Lilly,
I just tried to leave a comment on your blog, but kept crashing out (this has happened before, I'm afraid).
But, the intention was there.
Lovely! Congrats on all of these, Beth!
XO
Anna
I could resist no longer. I'd been waiting for Miss E to read HofD, but she's having a hard time getting to her "I wish I could read pile." So today I asked, "Pretty please?" She sighed and surrendered the first reading of your beautiful book. I wish I didn't have to get any sleep tonight.
P.S. Did you eat mustard sandwiches when you were a kid? I did. With pickles. And sometimes potato chips, too. The best!
And the biggest thanks should go to you, Beth! Thanks for your blogging generosity and wonderful books! It's such a joy to come here and read your daily thoughts and view your beautiful pictures or to dive into the pages of your books.
A few moments ago I finished your book. I cried when I closed the cover and I hope Erin has your e-mail addy as I want to share some of my thoughts of what it meant to me, in a more personal way. So I came to your blog to find the post where you told us of the blogger with the long shot prediction for House of Dance, because I hadn't gone to the link the other day. Then I came back to your blog, read the YatH post and watched you speaking to us. I almost commented back with "I love you!" but felt a little shy. So then I skimmed down to yesterday's post and saw it.The line I'd completely missed yesterday. The line with my name on it, yes it's mine, 'cause Miss Erin's name is next to it.
Bestower of gifts. Kindness multiplied by goodness=BK. Thank you many times over.
That was me. Oops!
Sherry, You are something else. You need say no more. My thanks were real—then and just now, for your kindness about HOUSE. There is much that is true there, much that was lived. xo. b
