The editor of Book Drum Tournament wrote me. I am glad that he was able to see that I was an avid reader and introduced me to the site. The site comprises of over 100 Book Drum Contributors who have created profiles of their favorite books. Currently, they have a competition for those people who create the profiles, and there are some really good monetary prizes. I enjoyed reading some of the profiles yesterday, and I will be writing one of my own over the next few days. As I was an English teacher from 1972-1997, this is right up my alley. I have always had a great love of books.I have so many favorite authors like Terri Pratchett, James Patterson, and tons of others. I have classic books that I have read that I adore like Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. There are just too many to list. I know that I loved teaching literature, and I was always thrilled to spark the enthusiasm in my students for reading. I even got them to love Shakespeare, which is not an easy feat.
Thought you might like to know. I know there are a lot of avid book readers among the bloggers, and some of you have even bought a Kindle to make it even more convenient to read.
If you are interested, become a contributor . It looks like fun to me!

This is interesting, I'll investigate. Must admit that a Kindle, although I can see its practicality, doesn't appeal to me. I like the smell and feel of books, and the feel of a paperback in my pocket bumping against me. I don't think I'd feel the characters were as real if they were on a screen rather than a page, but that is really silly of me.
Anyhow, I so love books!
It sounds wonderful!!!
I see we have similar tastes in books.
I do like reading a lot of different types, but I tend to lean toward sci-fi and thrillers.

I've heard alot about Kindle lately. I think if you don't have a lot of roon to display your books it is a great idea. I like to share my books, my daughter-in-law and I swap back and forth alot. It is great to have options theses days!
How interesting Micki, I have bookmarked this site and will return to look more closely! I'll have to investigate this Kindle thingy, I've only just become aware of them LOL!
Fun! So what are you reading right now?
