It's the end of the blog as we know it.

Hey guys. I'm so sorry for the radio silence on this end.  I've been doing a lot of thinking about this blog and where it's going and such.


As I thought about it this week, I decided that I'm going to give up Emily's Reading Room.  After two years of working on the blog, I just don't think that it has the reach or the impact that I want it to, and frankly, if I'm not changing the world, then why am I blogging at all.


I've got a bunch of ARC's and stuff that I no longer need. If you are interested in any of these, please leave a comment and I'll send them out your way.

• Wither by Lauren Destefano
• Abandon by Meg Cabot
• Delirium by Lauren Oliver
• Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
• Between Shade of Gray by Rta Sepetys
• Angelfire by Courtney Moulton

Thanks for all your support over the last couple years.

As many very astute commenters figured out, this was most definitely an April Fool's joke. I love being with you guys, and even though I'm not changing the world, I am expanding MY world to learn more about books, authors, and the world of literacy. And that makes the work that I put into this very worthwhile.

I do want to thank all of you that want me to stick around and keep blogging. I can promise that I will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

By the way, if you thought THIS was a sick joke, today I told my boss that I got a much better offer at another organization and that they were going to be paying me WAY more than my current job could offer. He was sweating bullets. :)
