Announcement! The Great Move!

Hi everyone!  I’m your new blog master.  On January 1 the original Keeper had to step down due to personal reasons.  I wanted address a slight issue I had when I took over….I’m a VERY eclectic reader and I was handed a VERY paranormal book blog in addition to a “jack of all trades” book blog.  In the next couple of months I have some VERY BIG life changes happening (I can hardly wait for my niece to arrive! She isn’t even here yet and she’s spoiled!) and after thinking on the situation for 6 days I have come to the realization that something has to give.  I just don’t have the time to effectively maintain 2 book blogs.

Which brings me to my announcement….

Over the next couple of weeks I will be transitioning posts that were originally posted here to be posted over on The Book Junkie’s Bookshelf.  Starting effective February 1, with the exception of Reading Challenge link up’s I will be blogging exclusively at The Book Junkie’s Bookshelf.  I hope to see some of you there.  I have basically the same ways to follow the blog available but the Feedburner option is more readily available on that blog.  I will be keeping the twitter account as well (@paracryptkeeper).  Basically, all that is changing is the blogger and actual blogging location.

Friday Follow ~ The Unread Books edition

RULES

To join the fun and make new book blogger friends, just follow these simple rules:

1. (Required) Follow the Follow My Book Blog Friday Hosts {Parajunkee & Alison Can Read}
2. (Required) Follow our Featured Bloggers
3. Put your Blog name & URL in the Linky thing. You can also grab the code if you would like to insert it into your posts.
4. Grab the button up there and place it in a post, this post is for people to find a place to say “hi” in your comments and that they are now following you.
5. Follow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also, don’t just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don’t say “HI”
6. If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love…and the followers
7. If you’re new to the follow friday hop, comment and let me know, so I can stop by and check out your blog!

So now for this weeks question: 

Q: Go count the number of unread books sitting on your shelf. How many?

I lost count at 200 and that’s just physical books, that doesn’t even include the books on my nook.  Add another 217 if you want to include those into the total too. How about you?  What’s your magic number?
