offline---

I've been wondering if it is time to put this book group to bed--this is the third year! That's pretty good!

By no means is this meant as a criticism; I know everyone has priorities and obligations and Life, etc. The weak efforts I've made at maintaining the site just don't seem worthwhile.

Would anyone mind, terribly?

Meera, I couldn't have said it better. Sarah, you are a complete Wonder Woman at keeping up this site. You did such a good job that I'm embarrassed to say I didn't even try to add anything myself -- I just figured you'd have better ideas and the motivation to put them on the site. And you did. Seriously, you rock.

I'd be terribly bummed for the Rumpus to come to an end, but I think I might have to admit that it's time. I read most of the books (most? some? certainly not all), but when I do read, it's weeks and weeks and weeks late. But I like Meera's suggestion that we just go on a break, instead of actually breaking up. Say we're just on a hiatus of some sorts? That sounds better to me. And I wonder if we can keep the wish list up, so I can use it for inspiration. We can even add more than just the names of books -- a comment or two about a specific title. In fact, I'm going to go do that right now for a book I just read.

So, sigh, I think you are right. I certainly intend to keep reading, even while I grow as big as a barn and give birth to these critters, but I think taking a deadline away will take away a little pressure (not pressure from anyone, just pressure from myself to keep up with the group). Um, and yeah, offline discussions and real visits are mandatory. Fo' sho'.
