According to one of those magazines you pick up for free around our town, January is “NATIONAL BOOK BLITZ MONTH.” What a great way to start out the year and the challenge!! Kick it off in style. Is that just for the US or did whoever came up with it include our best neighbors (or neighbours LOL) to the north? What about Oz, NZ and the UK?
No matter! We'll make it eHQ site-wide (unless TPTB at eHQ object, which I just cannot imagine).
So, what will YOU do for BOOK BLITZ MONTH?

Well, a blitz is "an intense campaign" so I figure BOOK BLITZ MONTH is a month of reading as voraciously as possible and getting as many people as possible to join you. The magazine didn't define it, just told us that January is it.
Isn't that a great coincidence? Launching the new challenge and site during BOOK BLITZ MONTH?
And I can spell many things the Canadian way! I used to work for a Canadian company.

Sharp eyes folks! I didn't notice. Do we Canadians have our unique spelling or are we trying to convert those south of the border to our ways!
Literacy is for Life!!
Instill the love for reading in our children and reward them for life!!
Hi Linda!
I think with all us Queen's English lovers ( the Canuks, the Brits, the Aussies, the Kiwis) we might be out numbering those South of the 49th!

You probably DO outnumber us!
When you count everyone . . . even just the booklovers. Even just the ROMANCE book lovers . . . I'm okay with that!
