All this week at First Book we are celebrating the one year anniversary of the First Book Blog!

In the last year the First Book Blog has had over 280 posts from 40 different authors. To date, 84,728 words have been posted. The blog currently averages 1000 visits per week, with over 80 feed subscriptions.

There have been stories about our travels, our partners, our mission to end illiteracy, and our staff. There have been posts from the Gulf that showed the devastation of nature and resiliency of the human spirit, and posts about our celebrations and accomplishments.

Along the way, we hope that you have been entertained, inspired and educated. Thank you to all who have read and commented on our blog in the last year. We are looking forward to another great year to come!
