Book Blogging (Read-a-Thon)

Monday, September 17th, 2007

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).
