Random Linkage!

[bookaddict88]

Random links I think you should visit:

Operation Christmas Child - Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child who may not otherwise get any!

FreeRice - Improve your vocabulary while helping donate rice at no cost to you!

The Literacy Site and its affiliates - Help donate money to worthy causes by just clicking a button once a day.

Project Download (which has an LJ community projectdownload) - Download a file once a day to help Erin, who suffers from two neurological disorders, pay for the brain surgeries she needs.  As with the above two links, the only cost to you is your time.

holiday_wishes - Spread the holiday cheer by granting people's wishes and posting your own. I'm a maintainer of the community (and participated last year as well), and I think that it's a wonderful way for people to connect. Not everyone's intentions are altogether altruistic, but overall the spirit of the community is very friendly and giving. (My wishlist is here, if someone wants to grant one of my wishes! ;-) )

YA Fantasy Readers - A Yahoo! group I set up awhile ago that really doesn't have anyone there yet.  It's meant to discuss - what else? - YA fantasy, and it's open to anyone, teen or not (after all, I'm barely a teen myself now!).

Hi, new LJ friend :) You told me here to send you e-mail, but since I seem to have gone blind or just stupid, I can't see your e-mail address anywhere. Or is it, like, Yahoo mail, I'm so unfamiliar with AIM and YAHOO ID and stuff like that :|

Shiny! I joined your yahoogroup because I'm actually working on a project for one of my classes which involves creating an index of YA fantasy books :D So I need ideas for titles and such :D Not to mention I *do* enjoy reading them!

Yay! As long as you don't mind there's currently only two of us there (the other just joined yesterday, which is what spurred me to post here) and we're not completely on topic in our messages.

Anyway, I'd love to help you with that index, if only to find more books for me to read! And the other member has been pretty good with book recs so far too.

Of course, not at all. I thought you might need an extra member :)

I am definitely looking for suggestions of books to include in my index. I'll hopefully get a chance soon to read through the messages on the group already and then say something productive :D
