the book bridge is open call for submission

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 do you think it’s one that others should be reading and talking about? Then tell us about it so we can get into the conversation!

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

You do NOT have to be a book blogger to participate! If you’re an avid reader who talks about books on social media, Goodreads, or any other (non-commercial) site, you’re very welcome to join in!

The form to submit the book that most excited you during July is embedded in this post.

I will keep this invitation as a sticky post for two weeks (until August 17), and then I’ll put together a post that includes all the submissions during the following week.

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

Building “The Book Bridge”: Call for Submissions #1!

Building “The Book Bridge”: Call for Submissions #1!

I got enough positive feedback on my “review share” proposal last month that I’m moving forward with it! The project’s name is subject to change, but for now, it’s The Book Bridge: Connecting Each Other to Great Reads Let’s review the details: What I’d like to do is invite you to share the book you were most excited about during the last month, whether brand-new or backlist! It’s an opportunity to broadcast your enthusiasm to […]

Show and Tell (and Link and Read) Sunday

Show and Tell (and Link and Read) Sunday

It’s the unofficial First Weekend of Summer here in the USA, and we are having some beautiful late-spring weather in Southern California! We don’t have many big outdoor plans this weekend, though–we’ll be doing things like seeing movies and going shopping. I’m planning to take advantage of an extra day off by spending time reading and getting my book blogging up-to-date; I’ve had one review about 3/4 done for several weeks now, and I’ve finished […]

From the Clipboard: A Link Roundup

From the Clipboard: A Link Roundup

I’m not getting as much blog-reading time as I’d like lately, but I do have a small accumulation of links I’ve been saving to share, and I’ve decided not to hold onto them any longer–time for a link roundup post! If you’d like to get them all in a handy list instead of bookmarking this blog post, here’s the OneTab where I collected them. But before we get to the reading links, I’d like to pass […]

Later, Longer List: Links of the Week, November 20

Later, Longer List: Links of the Week, November 20

I’m more than halfway through NaBloPoMo now and that’s motivating me to finish the month, so even though it wasn’t pre-scheduled to go up at 5:30 this morning, there is a post today. (And to make up for being late, this week’s link list is almost twice as long as usual!) This week’s link roundup is brought to you via OneTab, with thanks to Two Bossy Dames for mentioning that it exists! Good to Read […]

5 To Read on Friday: Links of the Week, November 6

5 To Read on Friday: Links of the Week, November 6

It has been over a year since I last posted a Friday link round-up, but since I am attempting to do NaBloPoMo this week (you read that right–I’m taking this month one week at a time), it seemed like a good excuse to resurrect it!  “NaBloPoMo is your experience. It’s your 30-day posting process, and you can use the space on your blog in any way you choose: You can access daily prompts through BlogHer. You can post a […]

The Survey: Pictures, Prizes, Reading, Linking

The Survey: Pictures, Prizes, Reading, Linking

It’s early afternoon. The windows are open and it’s really nice out, but we’re not feeling terribly ambitious today. Lately, I’ve actually remembered that my laptop is portable, and I’m tucked into a corner of the sectional sofa in our living room while Paul and Spencer watch The Bourne Supremacy on DVD. (The Bourne Identity was our Saturday-night viewing, so we could end up doing the whole trilogy this weekend.) I like that we actually […]

Sunday Salon: (2 Days) Late Edition

Sunday Salon: (2 Days) Late Edition

What I’m reading in print I just finished One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories, a short-fiction collection by B.J. Novak (yes, Ryan the Temp from The Office, TV nerds, but he was also a writer/producer on the show, so this is not coming from out of nowhere). I’m hoping Shelf Awareness won’t decide my review came in too late for them to use it, since the book publishes next week–I’m not usually much for […]

Sunday Salon: Shaping Stories

Sunday Salon: Shaping Stories

“Facts don’t do what I want them to”  – “Crosseyed and Painless,” Talking Heads And so we shape them into something that does what we want. Some other lines from the same section of that song acknowledge that: “Facts all come with points of view” “Facts continue to change their shape” “Facts are nothing on the face of things” I’ve been thinking a lot about how we shape narratives lately – ever since my stint […]

Sunday Salon: The “So much for that” edition

Sunday Salon: The “So much for that” edition

As promised, I’m back with an update about my Reading Days. It won’t take long…because they didn’t exactly go as I’d hoped. Jury duty isn’t such a good opportunity to catch up on your reading when you actually have to serve on a jury; they kind of like you to pay attention in the courtroom. I was called up for the very first panel last Monday morning, but that jury wasn’t accepted until Tuesday morning. […]

Sunday Salon: More reading, more listening, less ‘riting

Sunday Salon: More reading, more listening, less ‘riting

Blogging slumps are rather unusual for me, but I think I might be in the midst of one. That may be hard to believe this week, since I have posts written and scheduled for most of it already, but I’m not feeling the itch to blog – or to keep up with the blogiverse – the way I normally do. It feels weird, and I hope it doesn’t last very long…but I’m not going to […]

Sunday Salon: Bookkeeping – Status Reports

Sunday Salon: Bookkeeping – Status Reports

I have had neither the time nor the brainpower to work up a Sunday Salon discussion this week, so I’m resorting to the “lists and updates” thing – an extended Status Report. Update #1: The Handmaid’s Tale Group Read A few months ago, I mentioned wanting to read The Handmaid’s Tale this year (a re-read for me, but it’s been over 20 years since the first time) and, hoping to do it as a group read, posted […]
