Happy Sunday! Happy Easter! First things first, don't miss the sign ups for Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon. April 18th is the day. Just had to get that out there. Again. I don't have my list made yet of titles I want to read. But it will come together soon. And when it does, most likely, I'll share it with you.
In other news, if you enjoy reading YA literature, you might just want to join Renay's Nerds Heart YA google group. We're looking for nominations of overlooked book titles in 2008. And we're looking for judges. The details are still being worked out. But it should be fun.
I did start a new reading challenge...there isn't much interest so far...I don't know if this is because my readers are feeling overwhelmed by hostedness, don't like sci-fi, or if it's just a lack of advertising. It's the Final Frontier Reading Challenge. That being said I do appreciate the four people who have signed up!!! And if the group stays small, so be it, it will still be worth having.

Hey, you better share your book pile for the read-a-thon, Miss Becky! You know how we all love a good book list!
Happy Easter! Debi's right, where's the book list? ;)
Yay!!!! You're reading the Bone Doll's Twin!! What do you think so far? I was hooked from the beginning. And it's a good thing you ordered the rest of the series. I can't wait to finish it up!
