I know it's hard to review every book you read so don't feel like you have to do that; just do however many you can. Also, please pass the book blog info along to anyone who might be interested. Thanks to all of you who have posted!

Don't forget that you can get extra points in July for reading any book with a red, white, and/or blue cover (I'd say it counts if more than half the cover is one or more of those colors) and extra points in August for reading Missouri authors.

February Stats

Hi everyone,

Eleven of us participated this month and read 96 books and 27,386 pages! The leaders are:

Books
Jenny Ertel: 17
Chelsea Estes: 13
Tysha Shay: 12

Pages
Chelsea: 4,074
Tysha: 3,870
Heather: 3,684

Participation points
Chelsea and Tysha: Tied at 26!
Jenny: 17

Chelsea and Tysha got lots of extra points by adding reviews to Coolcat/Encore--a quick and easy way to get extra points.

We had two recommendations for best review: Sarah Bean Thompson's review of Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Night of the Living Dandelion reviewed by Nina Tzaneva. Way to go!

We have a challenge for you for March and April. This year's Big Read title is The Maltese Falcon, so you will get TWO extra participation points if you read and review it. Also, you will get one extra point for every Bruce Hale and/or Ridley Pearson book you read because they will be speaking here as part of the Big Read.

Thanks for your reviews, everyone!

Staff contributing in October: 7

Obviously, our numbers have slipped a bunch the past few months. Understandably, a lot of people are probably burnt out and things get crazy around the holidays, but I think we can rally! Of course, those of you who are still contributing are already doing your part, so feel free to put some peer pressure on your coworkers to get them to post their reviews!

It's a little late in the month to throw out a challenge, but I'm going to do it anyway (I think it's fair, since we're all just starting it). Extra points for...any book that has been made into a movie. Let me know if you've got an idea in mind for a future challenge! Thanks everyone!
