new coming this weekHi everyone! I hope you all had a great week!

Sorry for the delay getting things rolling today. Yesterday was Rosh Hashanah, the start of the Jewish new year, so I was offline all day. As with everything in the time of Covid, it was kind of a strange holiday. Rosh Hashanah is normally spent in synagogue, followed by a traditional meal with extended family and friends. This year was virtual synagogue over Zoom, followed by socially distanced, outdoor dinner huddled under blankets due the unseasonably cool day. But it was still nice to have some semblance of a holiday and to see the family in person. I know those opportunities will become fewer as we head into fall.

Ok, so today kicks off Week 3 of our Reading Challenge MonthPast/Future Week. This week is all about reading historicals, futuristics, steampunk, and pretty much anything that is not contemporary. Look for the kickoff post for this week’s challenge coming up very shortly, and the winners announced from last week soon after that. Even if you haven’t been participating in Reading Challenge Month so far, there is still plenty of time to get involved. We have two more weeks of challenges, plus a huge grand prize still to be awarded (Kindle Paperwhite loaded with 50 books from NineStar Press). So keep your eyes open for those challenge posts!
