How ludicrous it must seem to commit in December when most contests end. It’s easy to just begin, quite a while before declaring it. With a telephone modem, there’s no whipping anything up. I *can* start Christmas baking while pages load! To avoid frequent notifications for my subscribers, I generally stick to one post per day. Then too, visibilit of each isn’t missed by newer, hasty succession.
{To wonderful subscribers who aren’t book worms, be assured I discuss other things as well. This is my blog for great topics even if reading sometimes lands at the forefront. I have a hilarious 80s portrait activity in mind, for instance and this is the first I’ve uttered about it. Stay tuned if you’re keen}!
This “First In A Series” reading circle is a really fun idea. If you’re like me, you take advantage of sales without completing series you already have. Finding the mates to acquisitions can be a quest later. Had I heard of these contests January 1 when they started, I’d easily hit the top but happily reach level III; ‘series expert’. Let’s see what I manage before the month is through.
¦ Series Novice: 3 books that are the first in any series.
¦ Series Lover: 6 books that are the first in any series.
