Hello all,
March has ended. After a brilliant February, March has been at times mediocre. But only in terms of attendance. We had quite a lot of controversies and some spell binding reviews.
First of all, the Member of the Month thingy.
This prize goes to Nimue for reviewing 3 books. Congrats girl.
In other news, a lot of us has been absent. March has always been a busy month for people, so I understand.
Pulkit has decided to hang up his boots. Goodness knows why. I received a mail from him saying that he'll be gone until further notice. Personal issues, I hope. Though I sincerely want him here.
Some of the new people do not even bother to adhere with the rules of 2 posts a month. And some people who joined ages ago, conveniently forgot that they do have some responsibilities towards this blog. Basically, am tired of reminding everyone.
No more theatrics from me. Giveaway will commence on 3rd April.
Nimue and Arpita need to hold the fort from now. Don't know when MSM and Maithili will be back. And I want you guys to find two admin positions to fill up the spaces left by Pulkit and me. I'm leaving ALOP until further notice. No, this is not a April Fool's Day prank. The stress of maintaining this blog, organising giveaways, talking to authors, worrying about attendance, organising interviews, choosing which request to fulfil, maintaining blog pages, gathering readers, avoiding controversies has taken a huge toll on me! And I'm almost on the verge of giving up this place. I've done everything, and I mean everything humanely possible these last 9 months. I need an extended break.
So please, Arpita and Nimue, please take care of this blog. Please.
I welcome icyhighs to this wonderful place. I request Riya and Malavika and Anushree to come out from wherever you are. I request Hemish, Koustabh, Swarnali, Aishwarya and Nikhi to carry on the reviewing. I request Chandana, Urmi, Nightflier to carry on the same good work as they have been doing all this time. I request Maithili and MSM to give this place a chance. I request Pulkit, Arpita and Nimue to be my shoulders when I'm down.
And lastly, I request you to read the reviews by others and drop a comment atleast.
Admins, no more accepting author requests until we have fulfiled the pending ones. If you need to contact me, you know where to find me.
Lets kick this back to top gear.
