This is just a note to thank everyone who has been supporting this blog with their visits and recommendations. We hit a YUGE milestone today with 10,000 page views in under 60 days since Joy Lies Slain launched. I'd especially like to thank my mother who I suspect looked at the page 50 times yesterday to help us reach our goal and also hackers from Russia who, despite their continued interest in the page, have not started spam bombing my comments section.

It's been amazing to see the level of interest in Thomas Hardy's work after all these years and I look forward to providing the best content I can for the rest of our journey together! THANK YOU!
