The clocks change this weekend. The good thing about this is that starting Monday I will not have to wake my older son for school and send him to the school bus in the dark. I have never been a morning person, but this time of year it's a real struggle to get going. Of course, I loathe leaving the office in the dark, but then again most nights even in summer I leave when it's dark. I get caught up in what I am doing and suddenly it's after 7!

The BIG news this week is that in September, The Book Report Network (the parent company of Bookreporter.com) had more than 1,100,000 unique visitors. This has real significance to me since before I started Bookreporter.com I was at Mademoiselle magazine where our circulation was 1,100,000 readers. Pretty cool to see how this happened in just nine years. Actually we more than doubled our circulation in the past year! So to all of you, thank you for reading and telling your friends about us. My new goal is....2,000,000 readers.
