BAFAB cometh!

It's December 2nd! And it's about 3:20 in the afternoon, EST, which means that the next BAFAB Week is, roughly, only 29 days, 8 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds away.

I know what you're thinking: But I needs must see to the conventional holidays first! All those presents I'm compelled to buy because it's the Done Thing. The madness of stores! The crush of impatient Christmas (etc.) shoppers!

Yes, yes, I know. And after all that is over and the New Year has rung in, imagine the calm that awaits you that first week of January: the gift of a single book, selected thoughtfully for one special person who, unlike those grasping relatives you just had to spend time with, isn't expecting to receive anything. A sane, bookish, small, thoughtful holiday.

But anyway, I write in today to remind you that BAFAB is nearly upon us again and to let you know that the guest reviewer for the January 2007 BAFAB Week is Boston Globe columnist and author Caroline Leavitt. I've already updated the BAFAB site for the coming week, so if you visit now you can already see Caroline's and my book recommendations.

As always, please do spread the word about BAFAB in your bloggings and daily intercourse. And start thinking about just who will be the lucky recipient of your BAFAB book this time around....

There's such a wonderful straight line in there - it just about kills me that I'm too much of a lady to take advantage of it. (Not such a lady that I didn't spot it, mind you!)
