With everything that has happened in the last week with Kathleen Hale stalking a member of the book community’s life, a bunch of book blogs are shutting down our reviewing hats for the rest of the week.

We’ll still be posting but instead of promotion, we’re going to get back to the basics. We’ll be discussing our love of reading. Where it started, where it was nurtured and all of that good stuff so we hope that you’ll join us.

To start things off, Jane and the gals at Dear Author have an Open Thread for Readers post up. You should hop on over there and join the discussion. Let’s get to know each other in our community a little better and bond over our passion for the written word.

What do you say?
