This has been a really incredible experience. I have met some really wonderful people, and read some really wonderful books. One of the things the experience has reaffirmed, is that people, at least on the site, are generous and giving and interested in the well-being of others. I've also discovered that there are a great many very good books. And that a shelf of 5 spots is much too small to reflect the amount of talent on the site.
I want to thank all of you wonderful people who have taken one of those five spaces and devoted it to MMID. It is an honour to be so chosen. I also want to thank those who have taken the time to write careful reviews, some critical, some flattering, but almost all of them helpful. I am humbled by the time and effort you have taken.
I wish I could give every single one of you careful, detailed comments right-away. Obviously, that is impossible, and it will take some time before I can return all the reads. I will work under the assumption that most of you would rather wait for a more careful review than have a fast, short one. I like to spend a good deal of time with each book, and I hope to leave helpful comments to you all. There're many books that I think deserve backing. I wish I could back more at once, but see no benefit to anyone from very short backings.
I am working on a thread, which is a work in progress. It will eventually feature you all, plugs, and other fun and games.
