Well, hello.

I’m thrilled to the gills, to announce that Seen Reading will return this spring!

When we last met, Seen Reading stayed mostly on the rails. I’ll continue to track the reading habits of transit riders, widening that scope significantly. But I’d love to set up shop all over this great city. If you love your neighbourhood, nominate them for a visit by sending an email with the subject heading “We Want to Be Seen” to julie[at]seenreading[dot]com. Readers are everywhere. Coffee shops. Cafes. Invite me over! C’est voila, we have a week of sightings that showcase your community. And you’ll keep me from getting kicked out of a fitness joint for standing too close to the treadmill. All to say, I think we can do something really great here.

Readers Reading will also continue. If you love the sound of your own voice, send me a 1-2 minute recording of you reading from one of your favourite books. Be sure to introduce yourself, speak clearly, and include an image of you holding the book. (Doesn’t have to be your face. But I’d like to see your hands. It’s a nice touch!)

Join the fun by posting your own sightings on Twitter using the hashtag #seenreading. Follow me @SeenReading where I’ll be posting my own. (If you want to chit chat, holla at me @BookMadam.)

More to come. Just wanted to touch base to say that I’m looking forward to seeing you again!
