BAFAB Week coming in 8 days!
You thought I'd forgotten, eh? But no. I've just updated the Buy a Friend a Book (BAFAB) site for the upcoming BAFAB Week, which begins on April 1st. (Remember, BAFAB comes four times a year, in the first weeks of January, April, July, and October.) If you're not already familiar with it, BAFAB is a quarterly holiday of, er, my creation which is intended to serve the dual purposes of promoting good books and, well, simply being a nice thing to do for one's fellow man. The idea behind it is simple: during BAFAB Week, surprise someone with the gift of some thoughtfully selected book--a friend, your kid's teacher, your mailman. Just because: good books, good karma.
If you go over to the site now you'll see that I've updated the recommendations page. This BAFAB Week my guest reviewer/recommender is Alex Espinoza, the author of the recently released Still Water Saints. Click over to the reviews page to read his and my book recommendations.
As usual, you can publicize your participation in BAFAB and help spread the word about the holiday with BAFAB stickers and countdown timers for your site. Among these are some you can use to link to your own wish lists, such as the graphic on the right, if you want to give someone a hint as to what you would like for BAFAB. (No, mine's not linked to anything.)
Happy BAFAB!

Ah good, I have returned just in time - and I have just the thing, I think.

Yes! I have to figure out myself what I'm going to do for BAFAB this time around. It snuck up so fast.
