I'm in!

Hey, look... it's my first comment! And such a valuable one it is :-)

Thanks to you and Lee for organizing!

Ready!!...

Thanks guys!

Thanks for putting this together--I met some amazing bloggers last year through this challenge. So. Thanks!

I'm doin' it! Here we go! :) e

Thanks for hosting! I always enjoy the new connections that come about...

What a great idea! Looking forward to checking out these blogs.

Thanks for hosting!! Looking forward to new blogs!

This will actually make for comment number TWO today. I feel like I've got a head start!

I follow quite a few already, but I'm sure I'll find more.

I'll start running the marathon, hoping I can finish. So many great blogs out there!

I'm definitely in! I've been awful at commenting lately, but I've been working at this week. This will be a great way to hold myself accountable!

Thanks for putting this together Pam & Lee ... it's just what I needed to get back into a commenting groove.

I'm in! I'm a new blogger, so this challenge is going to be very helpful. Thanks!

Great challenge! This was a NY's resolution of mine. Glad to be aboard.

I'm in! Thanks for the challenge!

This is what I need to get me going...thanks for doing it!!

So glad this is running again! I had a ball with it last year and discovered loads of great new blogs. Looking forward to a similar journey full of adventure and camaraderie this year!

I love your doing this, Mother Reader! Hey, in a piece of great timing, Nathan Bransford posted today on the art of writing good comments: http://blog.nathanbransford.com/2011/01/how-to-write-good-blog-comment.html

This will be great, thanks. I am definitely in.

I usually comment at at least 5 blogs a day anyway so this should be a no-brainer! Thanks for hosting!

Oh, yay. I loved it when you did this last year. Thanks for doing it again.

Hurray, we're off an running! 23 comments already, and with this, it's 24!

Here's to building our community, one comment at a time, five comments a day!

Namaste and hugs to you, MotherReader!
Lee

The only challenge I'm doing right now, so I'm sure to succeed, right? Right???

Woot! I'm off and running!

My fingers are ready!

This is the second year I've participated in your challenge. Thanks for the inspiration! I love the chance to meet new bloggers and find books to add to my ever growing wish list.

This is just the kick in the *ss that I need to get back to the world of blogging. It's been too long and I miss everyone. Can't wait to do this!

I's ok, Tricia, you can say "ass" here.

Hi, all. Looking forward to it!

what a fun idea.

Thanks for hosting this.
Your Comment Challenge last year transformed me from a lurker, into a commenter - something which I didn't think was possible.
The Comment Challenge - sure, it's about comments, but for me, it was impetus to start reading even more blogs... which in turn, inspired new ideas on my own blog!

I'm in! Thanks for the challenge - looking forward to it!

I'm in! Thank you both for setting up this Challenge. I always love to find new book blogs, and I've recently started a blog that I hope people will find and enjoy. Yay for community!

This is such a great idea! I'm looking forward to discovering some new blogs, too.

I will be on my annual Retreat Week next week and out of contact with the world to as great an extent as possible. But, otherwise, I'm feeling more social than usual, so I'll see what I can do the rest of the time. And as Greg said above--this post counts as Number 1!!!

Looks like fun! Thanks!

Huzzah! I was hoping this would crop up again! Thanks for organizing!

What a great way for me to explore some new book blogs.

Great idea. Can't wait to get started!

Thanks for hosting this! I'm looking forward to making new connections.

I remember this from last year -- thanks for doing it again.

Hey look, first comment done and four more to go! I am so excited for this, actually looking forward to discovering some new writer blogs.

I absolutely adored this challenge last year! I'm going to do my best to do at least 5 a day, maybe more, but ALA may get in the way this weekend...we'll see! There's always commenting via phone and Nook, right? ;o)

Thank you so much for hosting this again!

Thanks so much, Pam! In London til Monday but will begin commenting in earnest then.

It takes 40 days to form a habit, but this will give us all a good start!

This is an amazing way to get book bloggers together. I hope to learn more about authors, illustrators and publishers. I also enjoy learning about different organizations that promote literacy with a passion! Already have seen so many good sites and suggestions to have fun reading. Thanks for all you do.

I'm in!

I'm in! Last year was a lot of fun. :)

Okay. I'm in, lol. I saw your comment to Nathan's blog on commenting, then saw Greg's post on the Happy Accident. No. More. Hesitating. Thanks for organizing this you two. Going to be a great time of reading and commenting.

A wonderful idea and challenge. Thanks for putting this together!

This is a fantastic idea! I'm thrilled to be part of it and look forward to seeing all of these amazing blogs:)

Can't wait to get started!

Thanks for organizing this again. I just posted a link on my Facebook page too.

I met so many interesting people last year. THanks!

What a cool idea! I'm in (this is my third comment today, I think!)

This should be fun! Thanks for this opportunity. :-)

This is a really great challenge! Count me in.

I am ready to play...and to catch up! Thank you, Pam and Lee! See you around the comment corners. A.

This sounds like a great challenge!

Great contest!! I'm in!

Seriously need to go get more coffee-looking at the blog lists and thought cool name for a blog "You're Next" Sigh.

I remember this from last year and never participated fully! So I'm happy you guys are running it again this year! Thanks! :)

Thanks! This is such a great idea and the first time the Pen and Ink crew has participated. Yay!

Nice site, I'm always looking at other peoples blogs. from a children author of Concord, Ca.

My first time! This is a great idea.

I have never tried this, but it sounds great!

Oops, joining a little late this year! This challenge helped me develop a "comment more" habit last year, and I'm hoping it'll push me to comment even more this year. Thanks for having this challenge!

Sounds like fun! I'm in! Looking forward to discovering some new blogs!

This really WILL be a challenge! Will be fun, though.

I'm joining in a few days late but I'll catch up. Thanks!

I loved this last year, so I'm so glad you guys are continuing the tradition!

I'm a bit late to the game, but I'll just have to comment like crazy this week. Great idea. Thanks for organizing!

This is a great idea. No excuses for slackers like me. I will get started. Emma

I'm in, too, MR, but I'm going to have to work hard, since it's Jan 13!

But, this will give me a chance to catch up with the kidlitosphere as it is now.

Thank you, this is a great idea!

We're all in! Thanks for doing this.

Nothing like structure to encourage good habits. Thanks so much for doing this!

Such a great challenge! Thanks!

I'm coming in really late to this, but I've actually kept track of my comments since the 11th, when I first stumbled upon your blog. Does it still count?? I'm only up to about 56 comments, LOL. I'll definitely get here on time next year!

Never too late to sign in! Never too late to comment! Thanks for playing!

This is an awesome idea!

Lee said to check in over here now that the CC is coming to a close--I assume this post is the right spot? Anyway, I have posted 5 comments per day throughout, cleaned up my blog roll, and read some very cool posts. Thanks!

Whew! This last week was a tough one, and I didn't write many comments. The first two weeks went much better. Overall, I discovered many wonderful blogs that I'll be reading from now on, and received some great comments on my own. While I don't think I'll attempt 5 comments a day, I will try for 2 to 3. Great challenge!
