Welcoming a New Worm to the Worm Bin

I'm delighted to announce that one of my favorite bookworms has agreed to wiggle around with us wormers. After devouring her reviews over at Simple-Green-Frugal, we've managed to entice Heather into the worm bin. She'll take over the first week of the month, starting in May. Make sure to stick around for her Monday roundups and green book reviews. Welcome Heather! We're so happy you're here!

Unveiling the New Book List

As you may have noticed, a great deal of information has disappeared from the sidebar. Do not fear, however, it is now all contained in one big list of the ecologically relevant books on our website. Subtitles and authors' names are now included on the list for all the books.

All of the reviews by Blogging Bookworms are also included in this index, listed under each book that has been reviewed. The reviews are listed in chronological order since some reviews take up where others left off.

Please check out the new and improved list of Ecologically Relevant Books. I welcome any feedback you have on this new format.

If you have suggestions for additional books to add, or a review of something on the list, please let us know on the Monday Round Up post! Updates to the "Big List" will happen approximately once a week.

There's a New Vegetable in the Worm Bin

It's hot and spicy and Chile from Chile Chews all over. Chile has been kind enough to volunteer her famous de-cluttering skills for The Blogging Bookworm's unwieldy sidebar lists.

You'll be seeing some changes around here. A cleaner blog, easier to find books by topic and more readable links to reviews. Please give Chile a big bite, I mean hug, and thank her for her help.

Welcome to The Bookworm Blog

In May 2008, Green Bean Dreams launched a Be a Bookworm challenge. The response was overwhelming and very valuable information - lists of ecologically relevant books, book reviews shared by blogging bookworms, an entire community of bloggers reading these books - began flowing in. The challenge was extended through June but it seemed wrong to let that resource go at the end of the month.

This blog, The Blogging Bookworm, is a natural progression of both the challenge and the idea behind it - to share information about great green reads. Four members of the blog community, Donna at Chocolate Crayons & More, Katrina at Kale for Sale, Shannon at Going Crunchy and Green Bean at Green Bean Dreams will collaboratively manage this blog.

We hope that The Blogging Bookworm will serve as a resource to anyone interesting in reading a green book. Here, you will find not only lists of ecologically relevant books but also book reviews shared by fellow bookworms. You can check in to discuss a book, bounce ideas off of other participants, and check out what we are up to. On occasion, we'll spotlight a particular author or welcome a guest post from a fellow blogger. We may even have opportunities for book giveaways and author interviews.

This is your blog as much as it is ours. We hope that you will join us in being bookworms, share with us when you find any new ecologically relevant books you come across, and let us know if you've posted a book review so that we can link to it for other participants. Together, we can keep this resource growing. Welcome to The Blogging Bookworm.

Please check back in at the end of the month with your final thoughts on your June book. We look forward to reading with you.
