I had an epiphany today while reading Beth's blog. I'm an ungrateful reader. How did this happen? I'm a librarian. My job is to pimp books. I love having wonderful books to pimp, and I know the hard work and dedication that goes into every book I read/pimp. So why have I gotten so complacent about what authors do? Is it because there are so many great books being published that I'm starting to take what is being written for granted?

I didn't make any New Year's Resolutions this year, but I think it's time I do. From now on whenever I read a book I thought rocked the house I will email the author and thank them. I will thank them for making my experience as reader more enjoyable, and I will thank them for making my job as a librarian a lot easier.

Oh! I just had a thought. It happens so rarely it's kind of hard for me to recognize one when it happens, but I'm sure I had one. I could do an author appreciation thing on my blog. Maybe pick an author every month to appreciate. Thoughts?
