NEWS !

Man-O-Man! First time writer and she's NATIONAL news - the last part of this is from a "male" of course - doofus - he doesn't understand BDSM the "safe word" etc. and that LOVE is involved. Bet he didn't read it!

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Susan the link didn't seem to work.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day – no, not green beer – a group of authors has banded together to offer 40 free books in the Kindle format for free March 14th – 18th (today through Sunday). It looks like they have a variety of genres available – romance, paranormal, mystery/thriller, children, science fiction, fantasy, and more.

Even better, you won’t download them from an external site but from the Amazon site – you just need to go to their special website to read about the book, then click on the book’s cover to be taken to the Amazon site where you can download away.

I’d be willing to bet you’ll find at least one book you might like! To check out these offers, you can click here -

I've been a little out of it these last few weeks. I've been doing manual labor outside and have been working early in the morning to late at night and have been pretty much too pooped to do much over here.

So I'll be getting on top of 2012 and other challenges now that I have free time!!

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Here's the latest group letter, just in case GR is still having issues with the broadcasts . . .

Hope you're all enjoying the budding spring. (Well depending were you're at!) ^_- It's that time again to start all over again.

Group Reads:
Our group series is still Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter, The Darkest Kiss is up!

Julie Kagawa's debut into the dystopian genre, The Immoral Rules, is up for our Debut title, and I have to say it's a good one! ^_-

We've got two great books for our whatever reads, City of Lost Souls and Darkfever.

Monthly Challenge:

April's monthly challenge Spring Joy is over and a big thanks to everyone who joined in on the fun! You can still update you status on the challenge if you want!

Jen has come up with a wonderful challenge May Blood!! I absolutely love it and know I'll be joining in!!. Click here to learn more about it and join in too!

2012 Yearly Challenge:
All right I've been a bit slow to update the yearly challenge threads, but I'll be doing mast updates this upcoming weekend. So update you're challenges and let me know if you're done, if you're changing your levels, and if you're joining new challenges.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

All right I"ve been gone for a while, but I'm back now. My sister got married and I somehow ended up taking full control of the event for the setup and clean-up. (I'm now convinced a quick city hall or vegas wedding is the way to go!!)

So I'm currently getting caught up on everything!!

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

I'm curious what you the members think of the new Masthead? Let me know.

Looks great! I came into the group and was like "wow Shera's been a busy girl!!!!" :-)

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

LOL! Glad you like it.

[Ezinwanyi]

I don't really know who is responsible, but I love the new banner. Great job. It's like entering a new home.

Nice job moderators!

[☀Rachael☀]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I love the new haeder it's awesome!!!

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Thanks! We're glad to see memebers liking it!!

[Geoffrey]

I really love the new header. Popped into the group and was like 'wow'. I think it's a thumbs up from us all :)

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Thanks Geoffrey!

[Johanna]

Umm, I guess that belongs to 'latest news':
Why aren't we having any group read this month? Did I miss the poll or something?

I was wondering the same thing.

[Johanna]

Looks a bit like this group is slowly going to sleep... like forever. ;)

[Priscilla]

Sad...I looked forward to the Monthly challenges and group reads.

[Amanda]

Yeah. I miss the group reads too

[Vannessa]

I guess that now Shera has stepped down as a group mod, Jen hasn't gotten round to doing this month's challenges. I always loved doing them so it's a shame if they stop. I have joined another group on here just for the challenges - I love doing them and extending my reading each month by trying out new books to fit the challenge, which I normally wouldn't bother doing.

[GinBee, Founder & Mod]

Ladies, the group is not going to sleep! Help me keep it alive :-)

I'm sorry I haven't got the group reads or challenge up this month, I've been really ill :-(

The challenge is up.

Group reads - will be sending out an email to everyone!

[Vera]

Sounds good. I have really enjoyed this group and was hoping it was not going to sleep!

[Johanna]

I already though something might have been up, like the mods being ill. But I'm sure there would have been loads of people willing to help. Maybe you need a couple of stand-ins for situations like that. ;-)

Signed up for the challenge. Sorry to hear you were sick! I am sure any of us would be willing to help, so just reach out. Definitely do not want this group to go to sleep! I love it!
