Recently, I (Melissa) had the pleasure of being a guest on the podcast for one of my favorite book websites, Books on the Nightstand (www.booksonthenightstand.com). Here is the link in case you are interested in listening--I talk a little about paper in books, plus the indie choice awards, and I talk about the lovely book TINKERS which went on to win the Pulitzer a few days later!!
In the podcast, I talk about the 10-10-10 Reading Challenge. I am pleased that I've received several emails from people joining the challenge--I will post the new names this week.

I recently heard your fascinating interview on Books on the Nightstand and was thrilled to hear about your reading challenge. Being a latecomer, I believe I shall assign myself a one-each version of your challenge for October 10. As a side note, I found your comments about the paper industry were illuminating ~ most particularly the fact that the paper is indeed a renewable resource and, at least in the United States, is being conscientiously and responsibly managed at a four-to-one ratio was comforting to me ~ as I had always assumed the exact opposite to be true. My heartiest congratulations to you on this project ~ and I look forward to sharing impressions with other readers on this site.
