I'm lost in a tangle of websites! Do you have four blogs? If so, do I understand that three (Bookshelf, Parlor and Young Reader) review books? Then, Texas Blog Notes talks about all things Texas? Do you post on each of the blogs every day? Whew! My question (somewhere in here!) is how should I best read your blogs...how often should I check? Thanks for all work getting this together. I appreciate the entertainment and education!
