I have been meaning for some time to collect all my reviews together in one place. I’ve just never had the time to sit and shift them across from one blog to another. But changes are afoot…
This year – nay, this month – I’m going to be taking part in the Blogathon, a 24-hour sponsored blog to raise money for BookAid International, a jolly worthy organisation that helps promote literacy among those less well off than you or I, in places around the world considerably hotter and less fortunate than here (Nottingham, that is. If you are in Cairo, for example, you may need to adjust accordingly).
Anyhoo – I’m going to spend my 24 hour blog reviewing books. Mainly because that’s one of the things I like doing, but also because I want to share with the world which books I like, and which I think are fit only to be thrown at the poor people who work at WH Smith’s. And if I can help some children half way around the world at the same time – bonus!
So, to recap: July 29 2006, 24 hours. 48 book reviews. That means I need 48 books to review. I can get a fair few together, I reckon… but if there’s anything you want my opinion on, shout at me. I might even pay attention.
So I don’t clutter up this blog (nearly 50 posts in a day is an awful lot…) I’m going to be blogging in my brand spanking new books blog – which will, eventually, be where I put all my reviews.
What’s that you say? Sponsor me? Why, that’s jolly kind of you. You can pledge to sponsor me at the Blogathon site, and actually donate money to BookAid at their site. Thank you.
Oh – while you’re about it: Rob and Lemurgirl are going to be blogathonning too… why not head over and support them as well?
