Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Reminder: TBR Challenge For January

For those of you participating in the 2013 TBR Challenge, this is a reminder that your "commentary" is due on Wednesday, January 16.

The theme this month is We Love Short Shorts! (Short stories, novellas, or category romance).  The idea is to ease ourselves into this yearly challenge by tackling a small, bite-size read.  However, remember, that the themes are totally and completely optional.  If you are one of those readers that loathes "reading short" and every book in your TBR is at least 300+ pages long?  Hey, no problem!  The themes aren't important - it's the act of reading something, anything!, that has been lying neglected in your TBR pile.

And hey, look at that - it's only January!  And it's certainly never too late to sign up for the challenge.  Details and more information can be found here.  You'll also find a list of the current participants, should you wish to follow along.

Get this -- I read my book for the challenge LAST WEEK! I think it's a first for me. Now just to write the blasted review, which is my nemesis these days.

Posted. Feel bad though b/c I didn't really enjoy it. :/

Amy: Saw it! Now you just need to find those other books in the series ;)

Jena: Of course it's always better when your TBR yields nothing but buried gems. Look at it this way - it's not out of your TBR! That, in and of itself, is a victory.

Nath: You had a good excuse. Hey, life happens. But certainly, if you want to over-achieve next month you can :)
