A Bookworm sweep week at the Watcher’s Council

I don’t think I’ve ever done it before, but I did it this week:  Not only were my fellow Council members kind enough to vote for my own post in sufficient numbers to make it the winning Council post, but they also voted for my non-Council submission so that it won.  I’m quite honored because, as always, the competition was huge.  It was one of the most enlightening weeks of Watcher’s Council reading I’ve had since I became a member.
