Jayne-eHarlequin's blog

So I'm sitting here at my desk and thinking to myself HOW am I going to galvanize the Community into going that extra mile and hitting our numbers this month? And I took down my handy dandy calculator (yup, be AFRAID folks) and I said to myself....hmmmm, let's see now. I know we have 2,601 Community members as of Monday (Thank you, Scott) and I know we have to read and review 100,000 Books.

So I took the 100,000 books and divided that by the number of available hands we have on-deck and guess what I came up with?

As an eHarlequin.com member, you get your own personal space to tell the Community what makes you, well ... YOU, with a customizable personal profile page! Your personal profile lets you share all your favorite discussions, the blogs you read, the books you're reading, and many of your interests with your online buddies and so much more...

Ladies and Gents, we HAVE a winner!

Super Bookworm identified the differences between the two covers for Linda Ford's Love Inspired novel, A Road to Love, correctly and most importantly before anyone else did and thus earns the right to the title 'She Who Is Most Observant' to carry thus forward in her eHarlequin.com Community signature until such time as the next Spot the Difference contest is announced and winner declared....or I run out of steam, LOL!

Now you can find your favorite romance community on FACEBOOK!

If you're wondering how to keep up with the Jayne's, the Wayne's, the Lorie's and all the other hosties and members of eHarlequin.com's online community, you might want to consider becoming a FAN of eHarlequin.com's new Facebook page.

Hosts Lorie and Rae are on their way to the 25th Annual RT Convention in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this week and have promised (or suffer dismemberment the consequences) to blog and keep us up to date on their adventures from take off to touch down…and I’m NOT talking Steelers!

Introducing: Spot the Difference!

Spot the Difference is all about finding the differences between two cover images, one of which has been slyly altered by our Art Team to test your keen (hopefully) powers of observation. This month our featured Spot the Difference covers are from our newly launched Love Inspired Historical Line....let the games begin!

Think of them as web jewelry—bling for your blog; pizzazz for your profile; diamonds for your desktop. What are widgets you ask?

I know we can do this folks, we're only 50 books off of our goal of 7,000 books read for the month of March and gearing up to at least double that by the end of April. So...no excuses Lucy, if you've got books to blog about, get busy....we're sooooo close! At the end of April we are planning to send out the first shipment of books from our Distribution Center in Buffalo to the National Center for Family Literacy and the books will assist the NCFL with their FACE literacy program.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog bash for an important announcement and a rousing SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!

Several of our authors made the list of this year's finalists for the 2008 RITA Awards®. The 2008 RITA honors romance fiction published in 2007, and over 1,000 novels and novellas were judged in 12 categories. Winners of the awards will be announced August 2nd at the RITA and Golden Heart Awards Ceremony to be held at RWA's Annual Conference in San Francisco, California.

This month we asked 31 of your favorite authors to weigh in each day with their thoughts on love and why they believe in it, in our second annual Blog Bash event in Community. From mother-love to love at-first-sight, these authors pay tribute to the heart with stories that celebrate defining moments in their lives and of those dear to them from the triumphant to the trivial.
