august/september book bridge submissions

August/September BOOK BRIDGE Submissions…are rolled forward to October

Due to low participation during September, I chose to hold publishing the next edition of THE BOOK BRIDGE till October. I’ve reopened submissions with the form in a new post–please look for it there!

What book were you most excited about reading last month? Share it in this month’s edition of The Book Bridge, where we’re connecting each other to great reads worth talking about.

Remember, you do NOT have to be a book blogger to participate! If you’re an avid reader who talks about books on Goodreads, Litsy, or social media (some people do Twitter book reviews, right?) I invite you to help build this month’s Book Bridge!

Time to build another Book Bridge at The 3 R's Blog! Submissions are open. Share on X

Maybe the book that excited you most was one that provoked, unsettled, or even infuriated you. Or maybe it was a glorious joy from Page 1 to “The End.” Either way, do you think it’s a book that others should be reading and talking about? Then tell us about it so we can get into the conversation!

Please use the form embedded in this post to submit the book that most excited you during August.

I will keep this invitation as a sticky post for two weeks (until September 21). After it closes, I’ll put together a post that includes all the submissions.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the books you have to share this month!

THE BOOK BRIDGE Call for Submissions 2!

Ready to build another Book Bridge? The Book Bridge CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS 2 is open! What book were you most excited to talk about during the past month? Share it in this month’s edition of The Book Bridge, where we’re connecting each other to great reads. A “book you’re excited to talk about” doesn’t have to be a “book you loved” by the way. It could be a book that disturbed or even angered you. But […]

A Call for Collaborators: Let’s Review!

A Call for Collaborators: Let’s Review!

I’ve been wanting to get involved in a project with other book bloggers for a while, but haven’t been able to figure out just what the project might be until very recently. Here’s my modest proposal, and I hope you’ll consider taking me up on it. What I have in mind would not ask any more of you than what you’re doing already. This is a Call for Collaborators: Let’s Share Reviews! I’m thinking about something […]

The BEA 2016 Highlight Reel

I collected some of the social media highlights of my Book Expo 2016 experience on Storify and thought I’d share them here as well.

But first, shout-outs to some of the people who made BEA 2016 Chicago such a great time: My roommate and blogging BFF Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness) and our hotel neighbors Candace (Beth Fish Reads) […]

BEA 2016: 10 Takeaways (That Aren’t Books)

photo credit: Kim Ukura My thirty-pound box of books from Book Expo America 2016 shipped out from Chicago yesterday and is scheduled to be delivered on Friday, so I’ll be able to talk more about them next week.

4 Lessons From a 4th-Timer: Ready for #BEA2016

4 Lessons From a 4th-Timer: Ready for #BEA2016

Next week, I’ll be attending Book Expo America for the fourth time (and for the first time somewhere other than New York City). Despite feeling un-ready this time for various reasons–some directly related to the event, and some not terribly pertinent to it at all–I’m excited to go again after missing it last year, and I like feeling that I’m approaching it with the mindset of a veteran. I understand that the change in venue […]

5 Ways I’m Getting Ready for #BEA2016

5 Ways I’m Getting Ready for #BEA2016

I made a list of things to do to address my lack of preparation for Book Expo America next week. I’m not sure how far I’ll get with any of them, frankly. Work is hectic this week; we’re making a quick trip down the coast to see my mother-in-law this weekend for Mother’s Day; practical matters like laundry and packing will need to be priorities on Monday; and my flight leaves for Chicago at 7:30 […]

6 Reasons I’m Not Ready for #BEA2016

6 Reasons I’m Not Ready for #BEA2016

Right about this time next week, I’ll be on my way to Chicago for Book Expo America 2016, and I am feeling severely under-prepared! I’ve taken care of the things that had to be done well in advance–I have the plane tickets, the hotel room, and the roommate–but not much else, and I’m not confident of my ability to get much prepping done in the time that remains. My Top 6 Reasons I’m Not Ready for […]
