What an interesting way to get people interested in reading! Book trailers are like movie trailers, but for books! You can find them all over the internet now, but here is a site that's featuring them on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/booktrailers

As I am catching up on blog-reading this weekend while others are away at the Kidlitosphere conference, I am gladdened to know that others have noted the dearth of comments and blog-reading these past few weeks. I think at some point it would be a good idea for each blogger to collect into one blog entry their favorite few posts from the past two months that they think people overlooked/didn't read, etc.

I'm with you all in all respects. Slightly falling stats, much fewer comments, and less reading on my behalf. I do wonder why this is happening, but I think you point out some great things here, MR. Maybe we can talk about it at the conference?

I'm not the only one? OK-I feel better. I usually read my Bloglines when I get to work in the morning (after I've read my email). However, with summer reading program and with a reduction of staff, I fell out of the habit of reading blogs.

My summer posts to my own blog were short and not as lengthy as my previous posts. Now that things have calmed down, I'm a more regular poster (getting back into the habit before the Cybils reading frenzy begins in earnest).

It would be nice to have more comments...but it is so easy to click away without leaving them. I just did this, and then came back, darn it, to comment (for what it's worth....)

Sweet! Finally, I have something in common with Johnny Cash (besides a raging love of metamphetamines).

From this day forward, I will strut around telling people that "I Walk The Line" and use you as a reference if people question said line-walking.

It's interesting you should raise a question about whether or not people are keeping up with their blog reading. My webstats have been plummeting since August. They had been going up ever since I put a counter on at the beginning of 2006 (I'd had the blog since 2002 and the website it's connected to since '96 or so). They started going up dramatically this past winter and reached a very satisfactory high in June and July. They've been in a death spiral ever since.

Hi MR,
So right you are about John Green. We didn't have enough time with him, and I was lucky enough to have dinner with him and just five others. He was friendly, smart, funny, and very willing to talk about his work. The poor guy never got to touch his meal!
Can't wait to see you next week!

i think part of the shift is seasonal. lots of folks have major schedule changes that begin with schools starting back up. I found myself "unsubscribing" from several blogs today, but thinking I might add them again next spring, or summer, when I have more time to wander.
