Welcome to The 3 R's Blog!

Whether you're visiting The 3 R's Blog for the first time because we met at BlogHer'10 or you're a regular, I'd like to welcome you and thank you for coming by! Please visit my About Me and My Blog page to get some idea of what you're in for around here.

I've been here since March 2007, and I blog primarily, but not exclusively, about books.  You can find all book-inspired posts under the "reading" label, and alphabetized links to all my book reviews on their "index" page. The books I write about are a mix of those I purchase for myself and those I am offered and accept for review in accordance with my book review policy. Broader reading-related discussions and status updates are held in the Sunday Salon.

Here are a few recent happenings around here that aren't so reading-related (where the "'riting" and "randomness" come in):

• Reports on my family's travels to Washington DC and New York City 
• A show-and-tell about my first time at Comic-Con
• A discussion about a proposed amendment to ban divorce in California

I'm also currently holding a giveaway for a signed copy of Jennifer Weiner's latest novel, Fly Away Home - entries are open until Friday, August 20.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to look around, and that you'll like what you find! If you do, please consider subscribing to the feed or following the blog via Google Friend Connect (the button's in the right sidebar). Got a question or a comment? I make an effort to respond to every single one of them, so please de-lurk and let me know you've been here!
