The Advent Book Blog is a which runs from December 1st through the 25th. It’s run by Books on the Radio and Book Madam, and it’s now in its third year.

It offers reader-sourced recommendations – ad-free. I’ve just recommended The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern (click here to find out why). If you’re interested in sending in your recommendation, you can do so here.

I’m also helping out as an elf, so I get to see behind the scenes. There’s a ton of great stuff lined up, and I highly recommend checking it out and following @AdventBookBlog on Twitter.

Happy holidays.

LJ had provided a space for a small, but tight-knit community, and it was a great way to keep in contact with friends who had begun to spread across the country, and the world.

Over the past three years, it’s become a place to share thoughts and reflections on esoteric subjects, and promote new and innovative works in esoteric art, literature and culture.
