International Blog Delurking Week 2025
It may or may not be International Blog Delurking Week. The first full week of January (January 5 – 11, 2025) is when we’re supposed to slither out of the reading closet and check in with an “I’m here” comment. I don’t know if anyone does this anymore. In the olden days, people would pop out of the woodwork. Nowadays, not so much.
So let’s see what happens.
So welcome to International Blog Delurking Week. I make a badge every year to mark the occasion, giving you full permission to right-click and grab it for your own.
My reward for remembering to do this (when I could have just as easily forgotten) is that you have to delurk for this worldwide holiday, which is super serious and important. Right?
It is relatively easy. Leave a comment in the comment section below, admitting that you’re here. You can raise your hand and meekly acknowledge that you’re here with a simple, one-word “here” comment; or you can proudly raise your hand and tell us all a bit about yourself (my preferred method); or you can tell me the last good book you read (see, I’m trying to make it easy for you by even providing a comment prompt). The point is that I want to know about the people who read me since there is a huge discrepancy between the number of readers in actuality and the number of readers I actually know are reading. Or a tongue-twister like that.
And that’s all you have to do to celebrate.
So (clears throat to nudge you along), who is here?

Still here! Still lurking!
Cool that this is still happening! I haven’t participated in a while, but will incorporate it into my post tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder. Cheers from Canada! 🍁
Still here, though, far behind in my reading! Good time to catch up!
It’s me. I’m still here.
I’m here. Yes, I was absent for much of the last four months, but I’m ba-ack!!
Hello from an occasional visitor. Loved your Microblog Mondays.
Annual comment for demurring purposes. 🙂
Here! Thank you for this blog – and especially book highlights!
Still lurking.. 10 years at least and counting… Last book I read was a Donna Andrews (christmas present) – fluffy and undemanding. Before that, “The last secret agent”, Pippa Latour (also a christmas present but from someone who does not know me well) which was too sad. Thanks for still being here.
Hello! Still here. Glad you are too. <3
