Dear FCC

I thought you ought to know that nobody paid me to feature all those books on my blog today. Nobody sent me a free book. They are all books I either already owned or borrowed from the library. I do not know Tomie de Paola or Brian Wildsmith personally in any way, shape or form, and I believe Marigold Hunt has gone to be with the Lord. Ditto Origen, Madame Guyon, and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. They paid me nothing to plug their exigeses of the Song of Songs.

If, however, someone happened to buy a book via a link on this site, I would earn something like thirty-seven cents. To give you an idea of how much wealth a person can generate putting sponsored links on a blog like this, Amazon direct-deposited a whopping two dollars and seventy-three cents to my bank account today, representing roughly seven months' total earnings. Not that I've been trying all that hard.

Anyway, dear FCC, I thought that maybe a high-stakes blog like this one would raise red flags. Just wanted to let you know we're on the up and up.
