Welcome Milkwood

Last year Bookstacks and the Guild of UK Writers formed a partnership, offering more opportunities to the members of both communities. Harriet set up a wonderful library on Awen and we were thrilled to have it.

During the past week, Harriet has been moving all of Milkwood to the Awen sim, including the marketplace. Simeon and I have always enjoyed working with Harriet, and we look forward to doing more in the future.

So, the members of the Bookstacks community, Simeon, and I would like to welcome all the new faces and hope you find a comfortable place to write, read, and participate in the book lovers community within Second Life.

Delay in Discussion of Three Days to Never

So, Simeon and I were comparing notes on how far we’ve gotten with this month’s book, Three Days to Never. I discovered I was not the only one running a bit behind. So, we’ve decided to delay the discussion for two weeks. Good news for you, if you haven’t had a chance to read the book yet, right?

So, new date – Aug. 29.
