After realizing it had been a full six months since I had posted an update to this blog, I finally realized it was high time to give up on this particular project.
The Atlanta Booklover’s Blog was a place to share my enthusiasm for All Things Bookish, but since I started it back in December 2008, other Internet sites have been doing an excellent job at this sort of thing. For example, on Facebook alone there are several book- and reading-focused pages that Constant Readers will informative and/or humorous. I especially recommend:
- Awesome Librarians
- Because All The Books
- BiblioCave
- Bookaholics
- Books – An Escape
- Bookstr
- Eat, Sleep, Read
- English Literature and Linguistics
- For Reading Addicts
- The Goodwill Librarian
- I Love Book
- I Love Reading Books
- The Laughing Librarian
- Literary Jokes and Puns
Discontinuing my already-infrequent updating of the Atlanta Booklover’s Blog will (theoretically) allow me to concentrate on updating more often my personal blog.
The Internet being what it is, the Atlanta Booklover’s Blog will continue to exist until I get around to asking the good people at WordPress how to “delete” it. In the meantime, I have migrated to the aforementioned personal blog some of my favorite features of the Booklover’s Blog, including my collections of quotations about books, about bookstores, about book collecting, about censorship, about the classics, about libraries, about reading, and about reading and writers.

Atlanta Booklover's Blog 
I hope you would not delete it! I just discovered your page and I find it amazing.
Thank you for the compliment. I migrated to my personal blog (www.calgough.wordpress.com) some of the features of the Booklover’s Blog, and now post to my Facebook account some of the memes (humor, beautiful library photos, etc.) that I’d previously posted to the Booklover’s blog. So you can “follow” my personal blog or ask to become a Facebook Friend of mine if you want to get updates to some book-loving stuff in the future.
