Many and Various (including two readalongs!)


One of those scramble-around-putting-various-things-I-probably-ought-to-have-mentioned-before type of posts, so get your mind set to miscellaneous...


1.) Another readalong idea that sprung out of the incredibly productive Virago Reading Week, and one that actually involves a book that's in print (I know! Imagine!) - Rachel (Book Snob), Claire (Paperback Reader) and I were discussing how we wanted to read more Elizabeth von Arnim, and have settled upon The Caravaners. We'd love you to join in - we plan to post thoughts in the week beginning 28th March, so a bit of time to get your hands on a copy and read along with us. Hope you can!

2.) More of an informal readalong - this weekend I'm planning another novella reading weekend. Well, short books of any variety - I'm thinking of branching out and grabbing a couple of poetry books off my shelf. Why not join in with me? Whether you're reading one novella or twelve, I've love some short-book company.


3.) I remembered that I hadn't done the draw for William - I really must stop having these prize draws and forgetting to draw the name. Patch has gone to bed now, so a random number generator is yet again coming to my aid - congratulations to A Bookish Space! Let me know your address, and I'll get William in the post to you...

4.) And finally - Wikio have let me know the latest of their rankings, and it does seem to be rather more book-focused than before - hurrah!
