Roundup of Blogroll neato things
Just a relaxed, networking sort of entry today. I thought I’d have a peek at what some of my fellow book bloggers are up to (particularly those in my own Blogroll), to see if I could do a bit of a roundup on a relaxed Sunday.
Via one of my pals, at Minds Alive on the Shelves, there’s news of a Book Bloggers Christmas Swap. If you’d like to be some other book blogger’s secret Santa, and get a little something from a secret Santa of your own, go over and sign up.
Meanwhile, Alpha Heroes has news of a couple of interesting book-reading challenges to sign up for. I remember doing the “50 Books” challenge in 2007 on LiveJournal, and not quite making it by the end, because other things intervened. Pretty bad for a book-reader, huh? But you might consider some reading challenges yourselves, if you peruse various book blogs and see what’s out there. It’s a good way to get yourself reading things you might not otherwise have read.
I should start looking into some reading challenges I’d like to do myself, in 2009.
Bookopolis has news of a holiday book giveaway, where author Brenda Janowitz is giving away six of her books, signed. Free books, from the author herself! Who can resist??
The Indextrious Reader has an account of The Golden Notebook Project, which sounds like it might actually be rather more trouble than one wants to go to, in reading a book.
There are lots of interesting things all over the Book Blogosphere, but they seem to step up the pace a little bit at this time of year. It’s kind of fun to click on a book blog, then click on one of that blog’s Blogroll, then click on one of theirs, and so on and on. You can find lots of fun things going on that way. Have fun!
