Very exciting! <BR/><BR/>Couple of questions I've seen that I'll answer, pretending that you're coming back here to read my answers.<BR/><BR/>I'm allowing a couple of graphic novels in the mix this year, but I'm going to leave poetry and picture-heavy non-fiction out. Too hard to judge book length, page count, etc. Sorry Ms. Lauren. An audio book or two? Yeah, why not.<BR/><BR/>New bloggers are most certainly welcome. I've even had people start a blog just to play. Okay, maybe it was one person, but still.<BR/><BR/>Breaks to attend graduations, recitals, work, leg waxings, etc. are fine. Last year I had to carve a huge chunk out in the middle of my reading for some Girl Scout thing. It does effect your total time, for sure, but it doesn't mean that you can't participate.MotherReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-87309494188120244012008-06-02T22:25:00.000-04:002008-06-02T22:25:00.000-04:00Ooh!
