My family have been running thedailybook for just over two years. We were spotlighted (or is it spotlit?) a little while before this community. It never hurts to take part in communities that are slightly different and I feel these two communities compliment each other. Over at thedailybook , a book title is posted everyday with a poll. All you have to do is say whether you have...

I am remarkably pleased at how quickly things have been set up with the new computers. I envisioned days and days of sorting things out and here less than 24 hours later pretty much everything is up and running and nicely networked. Crys' old computer now is living downstairs using the TV screen as a super-huge monitor. Obviously a lot is down to Crys' skills though I do think that it is easier these...

My only restriction is to find four authors who haven't been featured before. A bit of a task as they've had over 660 entries to date. So far I've decided on Alan Garner, Tom Robbins and possibly Arturo Pérez-Reverte or John Connolly. Maybe...
