The Weekend Assignment is posted each Friday at Outpost Mâvarin; a roundup of responses goes up the following Thursday, so if you’d like to join in, you’ve still got some time. Karen says: Don’t worry if you don’t get your entry in by the end of the weekend. It’s called the Weekend Assignment because John Scalzi originally designed it to give folks something to write on weekends, but times have changed since then. Now the […]

Book events – Binges, Festivals and Carnivals
Here’s a fairly painless challenge, especially for those of you who would be reading anyway – MaryP is hosting her annual Book Binge during May.
