"So, what is your blog's name? Do promise me that you will not spend more than an hour or two in the blogsphere..." he wrote.

I love blogs. I love writing in mine. Today's title, like a few before it, comes from something my mentor said to me, and while promises to anyone are important not to break, his request for a promise gets a wide-eyed serious nod. Oh, and his "hour or two" was quite generous, but sometimes I stay there almost as long as I'm allowed.

I got lost in literary blogs last night for bit. In another serendipitous occurrence, I discoved the blogs of Ivan Thays, Mayra Santos-Febres and other literary personalities that people my bookshelves. I started with a very LaLaLa blog about altered Moleskine notebooks. I'm not sure how I found that one to begin with, but it has a link to one of Thays' blogs, Moleskine Literario, in which the first entry I read is one he's done from Puerto Rico, where he's been, among other literary things, consorting with Mayra Santos-Fébres. Her blog contains a link to Rivera Garza's. And it ends there for me.

Yes, your "baby loves a bunch of authors..."
