Welcome :-)

It has taken much longer to get this blog up and going than I thought it would.  How little I underestimated my technical ignorance.  LOL
As far as I can tell, the blog is complete and ready to be published and wait for the hoards of people who will be checking in to see what I have to say about books.  And movies.  Because, no one should be fooled into thinking I won't be talking about movies here too; though I plan to try to go heavy on books.  Please feel free to tell me if you think I'm doing too many movies for a "book nook".  
I have decided to make the comments public, at least for now.  So, anything you post should be open for all readers to see.  I reserve the prerogative to change this if I feel the need to do so at any time.  
I have used a template and lots of settings to make the blog look as it does now.  I am not under the misconception that I haven't made mistakes.  :-)  No doubt, I will be making changes as I learn more about how things work.  For the next week or so, feel free to make comments about what you think would be improvements to the basics I have set here.  If you want to, that is.  If you don't, that's fine because there is a good chance I wouldn't know how to do whatever you suggest anyway.  :-)
I do not have a picture of me currently but hope to get one up in the fairly near future.
Thank you to everyone who helped me name my blog.  The first two names I tried were not available.  This was very frustrating.  How dare anyone use a blog with my name in it? LOL  The winning name was suggested by Linda Henson.  Thank you, Linda.  Brooks Book Nook may have too many "ooks" but I just couldn't resist.  I hope you all will like it and find it to be a comfortable place to come and discuss books (and movies).
I am going to stop writing for now and go publish this post and take a look at the blog and see what needs to be done next.  So, this is the end of my first blog post.  Thanks for reading.
