I am amazed at how large this group has gotten! (biggest group on goodreads!) When I started it I thought there would only be a few nuts like myself that wanted to take on this goal. Boy, how wrong I was!

So, in celebration of having over 3000 people in the group (yes, it happened a while ago...but I was busy). I've decided that we need a fun contest!

A few months ago, Rachelle Rogers Knight asked me to review a book of hers that she thought was perfect for this group. I agreed. However, I have gotten so busy that I haven't had the time to actually post a decent review of the book (sorry Rachelle!). The book is called Read, Remember, Recommend; A Reading Journal for Book Lovers.

She sent me a copy, but I want to give it to someone that will show it the respect it needs and post a review for the group!

Here is what I propose:

Post a haiku or limerick (the only forms of poetry I can handle) about this group, the 1001 book or something along the same lines to this thread and I will choose a winner to get the book. I will choose the winner based on the haiku or limerick that I liked the most! (Which can be totally arbitrary depending on the mood I’m in that day!)

The deadline for submission is August 10th, 2008 at 6 PM Pacific Time.

Have fun!

-Kim (the management)
