book challenge

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?

Ok, so I'm putting this up as a disclaimer...  my numbers for this challenge are going to go up quite a lot this week, because I'm playing CATCH UP.  I only found out about this challenge at the beginning of April...  and I read 100 books in that month alone.  I keep an Excel list of all the books I've read, to avoid buying duplicates, so I'm going to go through my list and add all the books I've read in the past three months.  I just started keeping notes on the books I've read, to remind myself what they were about and which ones should be KEEPERS, so I already have pretty decent reviews written up for at least another 150 books. 

I need some help.... I've done a 100 reviews already, and I don't know how to do a CUT OFF so that members see a preview of my review before they click to read the FULL review. 

Can someone tell me how to do that break? 

I should have figured this out myself, but I suck...  lol! 

According to wikipedia, the term virtual community is attributed to the book of the same title by Howard Rheingold, published in 1993. Considered a pioneer in the industry, Rheingold discussed the merits and social significance of computer-mediated communication and online social groups through his association as a founding member of the online community, The Well. He pointed out the potential benefits for personal psychological well-being, as well as for society at large, of belonging to such groups, and refered to his fellow "Well-ian" citizens as family.

We have a "family" here too at eHarlequin.com, and over time, 10+ years in fact, we've developed a unique and distinctive culture, a collective history and in one particular and arguably peculiar case a unique language. Shout out to the Bats
