If you like reading challenges, check out the third annual 48-hour book challenge.

If you’re as addicted to cookbooks as I am, check out a challenge I can finally find the time for: Soup’s On!

3/12: Yes, I did the six-word memoir meme.

3/13: This week’s Booking through Thursday post also includes some thoughts on the romance genre.

3/14: Dewey’s Negativity Meme & More addresses negative reviews, honesty in reviews, and more.

3/24: Don’t forget the March Bookworms Carnival!

3/27: Go enter Shiloh Walker’s Monthly Ebook Giveaway, and read the awesome excerpt she has up!

My take on the You Make My Day Meme includes plenty of book-related links. I’ve also done the non-fiction meme. For that matter, care to weigh in on the question of e-books?

Since I’ve taken to collecting links here to the more informal book blogging posts I make over at Errant Thoughts every so often, I thought I’d start this one off with a link to a challenge I might actually participate in for once:

The hidden side of a leaf is holding a 24 Hour Read-a-Thon in October. I’m tentatively planning to take part, with updates posted at Errant Thoughts and reviews of anything I finish posted here. There are prizes involved, so go sign up!

The latest Booking Through Thursday entry is up: Sunshine and Roses (9/20).

Followed by: Friendship (9/27) and Decorum (10/4).

Also, A Bookish Meme (10/3).

Time to start collating another round of book-related blogging posts from Errant Thoughts, starting with this week’s Booking Through Thursday meme:

• Statistics
• Goldilocks (9/6)
• Comfort Food (9/13)

The Superfast Reader tagged me to do the book cover meme, which came out better than I could have imagined! (9/9)

Also, while I’m waiting for Jeffrey to have the free time to add a few things to the sidebar, please consider voting for us or rating us on the following sites:

Spicypage (The widget doesn’t seem to want to work inside the post, so I’m going with a straight link.)

And, here’s a handy feedburner subscription link, which will also eventually make it into the templates:

I’ve started doing the Booking Through Thursday book-related challenge questions over at my personal blog, but I thought I’d collect the links here occasionally:

• Letters! We get letters
• Multiples
• Monogamy
• Indoctrination (8/23)

In particular though, I wanted to link to the second edition of the Bookworms Carnival, Surviving the Dog Days. I couldn’t even begin to list all the wonderful articles and reviews it links to, so go check them out for yourself! If you’re looking for a way to take your mind off of the summer heat, this carnival certainly delivers.
