For those of you who haven't heard, Grace suffered a most unfortunate accident yesterday in her garden. She broke her wrist and is now in a sling. If you see a blue Toyota Camry about town, that is me driving Miss Gracie. Please send her healing thoughts.
Everyone should have recieved e-mail invitations to be Bastings blog authors. In democratic style, we all have equal rights to the same admin processes. Feel free to dig in!
I also sent invites to join Google Calendar, because that is the easiest way I can figure to set up a Book Club calendar on this blog. It will give you access to edit and view events. The calender is exclusively for our club.
In other news, I added Reading Lolita in Tehran to the Amazon widget (right side of this page). There was one other book mentioned at our last meeting and for the life of me, I cannot remember the title. Please help!
This is our very own Book Club blog, where we can continue our conversations, add suggestions, maintain our reading list, and even share recipes. The format is open. If you have received your invitation to author this blog, it means you can post whatever you like, whenever you want to.
I have not used this particular platform before, but it seems to be one of the only free systems that allows multiple authors and has a fairly simple administrative panel. I'm still learning myself, but if you have questions about blogging I'll try to answer them as best I can. Hopefully their help desk will indeed be helpful.
