One World One Heart 2011

Welcome to One Book Shy of a Full Shelf.  For those of you who are new to us, we hope you'll stay and visit.  And for you lovelies who are loyal readers of my rhetoric, welcome back!  So I'll tell you just a bit about me before sending you on your merry way.



I'm Jules!  I am a very happily married woman who lives with the hubby and a houseful of cats and dogs on 10 acres out in the boondocks.  We also have horses, cattle and chickens - but not in the house :)  We raise a lot of our own food and strive to live a green life in whatever ways we can.  I must admit that among the many hobbies and interests that I pursue, I also have an addiction.  It is that of books and the written word.  My name is Jules,  I LOVE books and I am a bookaholic.   *****In answer to those who wonder about the blog title, it's a play on that old insult:  "one brick shy of a full load" - the hubby insists I will always be searching for the next great book and thus my shelf will never be full.  Alas, I'm afraid he's right.. 

 

One World One Heart

 

This is the 5th and unfortunately, the final year of this fabulous event masterminded by Lisa from A Whimsical Bohemian.  My initial foray into blogging started (at my other blog MoonCat Farms Meanderings) two years ago TODAY because of this event.  The warmth and welcome from so many bloggers on this fantastic tour across the blogging world  
encouraged me to jump in and get my feet wet.  Now I'm also sharing my opinions ~ solicited and otherwise.. here at One Book Shy of a Full Shelf.

So, enough about me..on to OWOH 2011!  Lisa created this amazing international blog tour to encourage bloggers to get to know one another.  It was billed as an "open house" of sorts where we would all cruise around and "meet" each other - all over the world!  I have befriended several lovely ladies I met on my first hop two years ago that I still correspond with on a regular basis.  They're awesome and I might have never found them if not for One World One Heart!  Thank you for your vision Lisa!!

To encourage everyone to continue visiting other bloggers on the list and find amazing blogs that are new to them, there are "door prizes".  Each site has some little goody or two, that they're giving away to one or more lucky visitors.  The tour lasts from January 30th to February 17th.  This will give you plenty of time to meet and greet lots of participating bloggers who share the same interests as you or those who can introduce you to some new things! 

Because this is a book blog, I think I will gift one lucky visitor with something book related.  How about a book of your choice up to $10.00 from:
