Happy New Year! We have a little something extra to celebrate this month: This blog's fifth anniversary! It was January 26, 2009 when I posted here for the first time. It's been five wonderful years of Dickensian fun and fellowship, and I hope you've all enjoyed it as much as I have!
In honor of the occasion, I'll hold a drawing on the 26th, and there will be prizes! To enter, all you have to do is answer this question in the comment section: Why do you read Dickensblog?
Always loved Dickens! You do a great job with all the info. This is the site where I get new book info, movies etc. Keep the site going!

I read it because I find it interesting. I've learned things about the author and the world he lived in that I did not know. I'm looking forward to reading more of his work and utilizing this blog with my daughter when we study the time period in which he lived in our homeschool.

Happy Anniversary! I first found your blog because I was searching for all things Dickens on the internet while reading his major novels. Reading Dickens really has changed me not only as a reader but as a person, so it was nice to find a place that is all Dickens all the time:) I also come here to find out the latest goings-on regarding Dickens... for instance, waiting and waiting for the latest adaptation of Great Expectations to hit the big screen and you were the first to let me know it was coming. Thank you for all you do and best wishes to the next year of Dickensblog.
