Milestone

This is my 100th post! Wow! When I started, I wasn't sure if I had enough to say to keep this blog going (but I see that I've proven myself wrong). I can't seem to stop writing.

Thanks to everyone who has been reading and commenting... blogging has been a fantastic experience and far more interactive than I could have ever imagined. It's still amazing to me that people who haven't met me are interested in what I have to say.

If you're just joining Wizards Wireless, here are my introductory posts which explain what this blog is about. Short answer: children's books, comic strips and Harry Potter. For longer answers, see these posts:
Updates to these original posts:

-I recently started a job as a children's bookseller, so this blog will doubtless be more current on new children's books than it has in the past.

-This blog seems to have developed a strong independent bookstore cheering section (which started well before the job mentioned above).

-The Wizards Wireless radio station was mentioned in the 7th Harry Potter book, but not really in a good way. But by that point I had already named my blog, so, oh well. I still like the name, though.

-Thanks to the recent Kidlitosphere conference, I had the opportunity to meet tons of other children's literature bloggers and feel much more connected to the kidlit community. I've added links to lots of new and wonderful kid lit blogs.

I also want to say a huge thank you to the blogs who have linked to or have posted about Wizards Wireless. I'm so honored! Thank you to:
If I missed you, please let me know so I can add you to the list.

And the biggest thanks of all goes to everyone who has read this blog. Thank you!
