The Best of November

And the winners are...

I am stealing borrowing this idea from Kathryn and Daniel at Two Go Rtw. (See how honest I am). Just made a couple of small changes, but I want to express my gratitude to all the people who are helping this blog grow.

I want to  share with you the Best of November at A Traveler’s Library.  That includes the five posts that drew the most traffic, the readers who left more than five comments during the month, and the sites that referred readers most frequently.

Readers Who Comment (lots)

Letter Writing

Six lovely and astute readers who come back often and contributed to our conversations 5 or more times:

Kerry Dexter. Don’t know how she does it, but she commented eleven times, and if I created an award for most helpful comments, Kerry would win that, too.

Jessie Voigts. Month in and month out, this busy lady drops by and says “Hi” and comments on a post. Ten times in November!

Brett, Jennifer , Stephanie, and Alexandra also came by at least five times each and contributed greatly to the conversation.

Thanks to all who leave comments, and bloggers, don’t forget that Comment Luv puts a little teaser from your latest blog after your comment, to draw traffic back to you. Want to see Your name in lights next month? Never too late to start commenting.

The Whole World

Where I’ve Been, the Blog that goes with the traveler participation web site, Where I’ve Been. You are invited to make a map of your travels and share your stories.

Passports With Purpose, the exciting project that is building a school in Cambodia. (not to late to win fabulous prizes–click on their link).

My Itchy Travel Feet, the travel blog with gorgeous photos aimed at boomers with soft adventure in mind.

Lonely Planet, as a member of the Blog Sherpa program, my blog appears on the Lonely Planet web site.

Wasabimon, the charming cooking blog that stresses gluten-free recipes without losing any of the taste and allure.

So there you have it. The people who make this blog keep on going-and going-and going. In November, the month of Thanksgiving, I find I have a lot to be thankful for.
