100,000 hits, oh my!

Today is quite a mile marker for good ‘ol Bookworm  Blues. Last night, while I was asleep, my blog hit the 100,000 hits mark. That’s incredible. I never thought I’d get this many hits, but now that I’m here, it’s rather surreal. I started this blog in May of 2010 as a place for me…
