HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL READERS OF BEATTIES BOOK BLOG

I hope you have a happy and relaxing holiday season and that 2009 proves to be a lot better than the doomsayers are suggesting.

To quote the editorial in Spectator Australia (www.spectator.co.uk/australia) (my current favourite magazine) when writing about the international financial woes:

....these problems remain fundamentally superficial. Happiness arises from good relations with family and friends; real despondence emerges only when these fray, not from transient material developments.
And Bookman Beattie says amen to that!

Happy New Year to you Bookman. I look forward to another great year of legitimate literary distractions.

I discovered your blog this year, and nowmy day isn't complete with checking it for the latest bookish news. Hope you keep it up in '09.
