\"logo<\/a>Yes, I waffle about doing this every year.
\nNo, I haven’t given up recommending books.
\nMaybe the outside forces that consumed the last few months of my life have abated… maybe.<\/p>\n

I have been reading during all the time away from home, tossing aside the almost-good books and saving the gems for y’all.<\/p>\n

So I’m using the April AtoZ Challenge<\/a> to jumpstart BooksYALove again (that’s me at #1532), even though AtoZ shares its month with the gigantic Texas Library Association annual conference<\/a> and all its presentations, author signings, and previews of upcoming books.<\/p>\n

Every April day but Sundays will have a new BooksYALove post on the alphabetic track = April 1st is A, April 2nd is B, etc. And my theme is [drumroll,please!] the Books That Almost Got Away… the really good ones that you might have overlooked in past months when the shiny, super-hyped bestsellers took up so much book-talk space.<\/p>\n

See you on April 1st with the first of 26 stellar reads that you won’t want to miss!<\/p>\n

And, yes, you still have time to sign up your own blog for April AtoZ Challenge<\/a> – over 1,500 bloggers strong!
