The Biblio Blogazine

I just saw an interesting idea for the blogging community over at BBAW:

Okay Book Bloggers!!!

It’s time to get creative!  If there’s one thing book bloggers seem to have in common, one bittersweet fact, one troubling but joyous shared burden….it’s the TBR pile.

Show us your TBR pile!!!

But don’t be all boring about it….get creative!  Try to reveal something to us about yourself through your TBR pile.

Here is a “creative” way to display my TBR, or at least part of it. As Wallpaper on my computer: A constant and artistic reminder of the stacks behind me clamoring for attention. 

(more…)

First let me thank everyone who left a comment and/or entered to win a copy of Jeffrey Eugenides’ The Virgin Suicides. I can’t tell you how much it makes me smile to see how many people love to read. It does my heart good!

For those of you who haven’t read Eugenides’ Middlesex, and are also members of LibraryThing (or not…it’s easy to join), there is a group of us who will be reading it in four stages over the next month. The first stage begins this Saturday the 20th. Please visit us and consider participating.

Now for the winner.

According to http://www.random.org/: Teabird (aka Melanie)!

According to her blogger profile, Teabird is a librarian. How cool is that? She also has two lovely blogs, both of which I enjoy and follow. The first is called Read Along With Teabird, the other Tea Leaves.

Please stop her blogs if you have a chance.

And congratulations Melanie, the book is on its way!

First, I would like to thank Teddy Rose for those she sent over from her blog, and those who re-tweeted my announcements on Twitter. Muah! to you all. Second, I made a list of each person who entered and put them in order of when the comment was received. Each was given a number based on that placement:

1. WordLily whose blog has the same name
2. Moonrat from Editorial Ass
3. Florinda from The 3 R’s: Reading, ‘Riting, and Randomness
4. Amanda from Life and Times of a “New” New Yorker
5. Eva from A Striped Armchair
6. Joanna from It’s all about me (time)
7. Natalie from Booklineandsinker
8. Dawn M.
9. Jessica Marie from Books Love Jessica Marie
10. Carlene
11. Auntrene from Aunt Rene
12. Nightdweller from Bibliophiles ‘R’ Us
13. Beth
14. Chris
15. Bridget from Readaholic
16. Cheryl S.
17. Annie
18. Teabird from Read Along With Teabird
19. Gaby from Starting Fresh
20. Cookie from Great Giveaway Contest
21. Rebecca from Lost in Books
22. Shelburns from Write for a Reader

I then used random.org to pick two numbers:

13
5

CONGRATULATIONS to Beth and Eva!!

I will be emailing you shortly in order to get your mailing addresses.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. And if you have never read any of Lisa See’s book may I also recommend Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Peony In Love.
