Kristen over at Bookworming in the 21st Century is hosting an event on New Year's Eve for us non-party-animal readers. This is how she explains it:
I have to work that night, but--I know I'm going to regret writing this--I usually have plenty of time to read at work, so I'm going to try to participate in this one. If you'd like to participate, you can sign up on Kristen's site. She's hinting that there might be book prizes involved...
I'd love to know if you're participating also! What do you think?
Oh I miss my jobs where I could actually read. It's funny that as a librarian I have little time to read on the job. I'm mostly working to get books into kids' hands even during my lunch break. Glad you'll be joining me! It's going to be fun! :)
That's one of the reasons I've stayed at this job as long as I have. But you get to choose books for the library--maybe?--and I'm at the mercy of my librarians' tastes, which are good but not great. And you get to influence little readers! How cool must that be?
I look forward to reading into the New Year with you!
Yes, I'm trying not to simply buy good fantasy books.. because we are LACKING. The last librarian hated fantasy and removed HP!!! So now we only have 4,6,7 in that series. *sigh*
Removed HP?!?!? Just because she hated something doesn't mean that she should remove something from the shelves! I guess it would be hard to be balanced with books you like and don't like though.
Diane, if you don't have plans, you should join us!

This New Years read-a-thon sounds like fun. I'll have to see what we are planning first.
