reading

     A couple of weeks ago I headed to the doctor's office because I realized that my depression was acting up again... not that it happened suddenly mind.  It's been a gradual progression ~ as usual ~ going back, I think, if not months, then maybe a year or so?

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?

I am so thrilled to be a part of this community of readers.  I've been reading Harlequins for years and years.  I don't remember which book was my first, but I was basically a teenager when I read my first.  I have read from these lines:

That's right!  You heard it here first.  I have absolutely NOTHING in my TBR pile.  As a matter of fact, I don't have a pile!!!

 I have some orders placed, but nothing is in my mailbox so far this week.

Hi there! I have a couple of exciting events coming up next week (April 14th - 18th). I hope you’ll check them out:

1. Dream Chaser by Sherrilyn Kenyon

The world, especially on the internet, is made of acronyms, isn't it? Ours is no different:

WIP, MS, MSS, BICHOK, TSTL, WoC, ST...

It takes a while to learn them all - KWIM?

Can we list them all, or come up with new ones?

What about WB? (Wall-Banger -- meaning a book we didn't like, not a love scene from a Blaze, LOL)

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.
