THE LITBLOG CO-OP: See You in July

Jun 07, 2006

See You in July

Thaks for visiting the Litblog Co-op. While there are plenty of interesting posts below about past LBC Read This! selections and nominees, we will be relatively quiet around here until around July 17th, when we announce the Summer 2006 Read This! selection.

Remember, we've already announced the four nominees this time around, hoping we've given readers of this site enough time to pick up copies, read and come to their own conclusions about which should be the Read This! title.

The titles to look for are:

Michael Martone by Michael Martone from FC2

White Spirit by Paul Constante (translated by Betsy Wing) from the University of Nebraska Press

Skin by Kellie Wells from the University of Nebraska Press

Crawl Space by Edie Meidav from FSG

With regret, we announce that the Old Hag and MadInkBeard will be joining the ranks of Members Emeritus. We wish them well in their own endeavors and thank them for their contributions to LBC. There will be new faces invited and we should see some announcements regarding that in the near future as well.

Please join us in mid-July when the lively conversation resumes ...
