Weekend Update: Links du Jour
Book Club Selections
I've decided to add discussion dates to each of the book club selections. While I always say I won't post my review until the end of the month, there's still some leeway, and I figured hard dates might help you out. :)
February: Fledgling by Octavia E. Butler; Discussion Date: between 2/23 & 2/25 (we'll be experimenting with discussion a bit)
March: The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness; Discussion Date: 3/30/2011*** Subject to change!
April: VOTE NOW!!
Calico's Dare: Shadowbridge by Gregory Frost
Book Sale: In order to buy new books, I have to sell old ones. Help me out? :) Details are here.
Follow me on Facebook, and find me on Paperback Swap!
FAVOR!! When I review a book you've read and reviewed yourself, would you kindly provide a link to your review in the comments of mine? I love seeing what others think, and sometimes I see those reviews when they're originally posted, but don't read them as I don't want to spoil myself on something I know I'll read in the future. The problem, then, is I often forget to go back and read the reviews I missed! So please, if you've reviewed something I'm reviewing, shoot a link my way. :)
