The end of the year is upon us, and thank dog it is finally here. I think many of us are ready to write off 2008 and go get drunk on New Year's Eve :) okay, maybe that's just me, but all the same, someone pass the gin.
In preparation for 2009, BBD has gone public again and fresh blood will be pouring in (eww, gross visual) just in time for some new group activities. Rob, who has been hunting down obscure authors for months, will be leading us in a monthly discussion of world literature--we're kicking off January with Spanish and Latin American authors, and pairing it with Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar as our group read. Encyclopedia Brittanica offers world literature widgets for this blog, so those will be on the sidebar should anybody want to explore more world authors than what we have posted.
We're also planning to implement some other new, fun activities in addition to our old favorites! Including this weblog, which will be used in tandem with the BBD Shelfari site to keep everyone in the loop and to explore the blog format for book reviews and other nifty things.
Happy holidays everyone!
