(And how could I forget that Jolene is also participating?)
Do you love to bury yourself in a book? Are you always on the lookout for suggestions, good titles, provocative reads? You’ve come to the right place! MaryP’s Book Binge is fast approaching. A month in which you read, log, and then post everything you read all through April.
On May 1, you’ll each post our lists on our blogs, and then everyone will know… that I read a LOT of schlock!
(And, to answer a couple of questions: yes, you can include books you re-read, so long as you re-read them in between April 1 and 30. Yes, you may also include books you start but don’t finish, just note the page at which you gave it up. Something like, “Quit, page 47 of 322″. Or, if you’re Addofio, “Quit, page 752 of 782.” No, you may not include books you read to your children – unless those books are at least 125 pages long.)
So far, we have:
Participants:

Anyone else participating, leave a comment and we’ll add you to the list!
AND, for all you lucky participants, we have these lovely blog buttons! There’s a small and a medium version. All you have to do is copy and paste the the following code into your sidebar or post.
For SMALL (125 pixels wide, suitable for a sidebar),

Copy and paste this code:
<a href=”http://daycaredaze.wordpress.com/2007/03/29/upcoming-event-reminder/” mce_href=”http://daycaredaze.wordpress.com/2007/03/29/upcoming-event-reminder/”> <img src=”http://farm1.static.flickr.com/185/437987938_6611104e47_o.jpg” mce_src=”http://farm1.static.flickr.com/185/437987938_6611104e47_o.jpg” alt=”book binge” /></a>
For MEDIUM (240 pixels wide; your text will wrap to the right of the image),

Copy and paste this code:
<a href=”http://daycaredaze.wordpress.com/2007/03/29/upcoming-event-reminder/” mce_href=”http://daycaredaze.wordpress.com/2007/03/29/upcoming-event-reminder/”> <img src=”http://farm1.static.flickr.com/185/437987932_48710a408c_m.jpg” mce_src=”http://farm1.static.flickr.com/185/437987932_48710a408c_m.jpg” style=”margin: 0 10px 10px 0; float:left” alt=”book binge” border=”0″ /></a>
(And if you, like me, are in awe at the way I have CODE on the blog, without it turning into the button and ‘vanishing’ the code, I can’t take the credit. This bit of playing with the browser’s head was devised by my devious sweetie, er, fiance. Isn’t he just so smart???)
Hey, can I play? I’m already tracking my books on my blog…and I can’t wait to see what schlock you’re reading too
Of course!
Wow. Did you put all those links in manually? (Does WordPress actually copy links when you copy text? Nah, couldn’t be.) You are seriously dedicated!
(And reading my post here, I of course see a grammar mistake I missed…)
This will be fun! Good thing April 1 is a Sunday. I’ll get a solid day’s reading to start me off. I have a nice pile of library books sitting by my favourite chair in the livingroom.
Mary P., I just copied and pasted the entire thing from your post! The only thing I added was the part at the top that says I got it from you.
BookMama – do you *really* expect me to be able to figure out how to copy and paste that code? Or to copy and paste the list of things you need to know about me! I still haven’t figured out how to transfer the pics from my new camera to the laptop. Guess the previous “hint” didn’t sink in. Had a great visit with btwinny, hubby, and the kid.
sign me up!!! Although, I dont know if Ill have a chance to read any.

Hi there! I am also interested. Please add me? When you link me could you link to my new bookblog http://librarylove.net? Thanks so much! I’m getting ready to start a new book so this works out great.
