Getting Back on Track

No post since June! That's crazy.

Well, I've finally updated the sidebar, so please refer to that if you wish to know what we're reading/watching/doing. If you are on the schedule but have not given us a book yet, when you're ready, let me know and I'll put a poll up so we can vote.

Remember, you are welcome to post here--if you are not a contributor and want to be, let me know!

BUT, I DO have a nice little New Year post assignment. If you would like, list the books you read in 2010. It's fun to look back and see what other people have been reading. Don't feel dumb if it's only 3 books--I don't think I read very many myself. This is not about quantity, it's about getting ideas for reading! Feel free to give a short rating, or just a list and star your faves!

So as to inspire you to post, I'll start. I have NO idea what I've read in the last year, so this should be interesting . . .
