But as you see, my posts tend to be for informational purposes. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I have\u00a0 another addition to THE SEASON website, which is an online forum (bulletin board). As with all things THE SEASON, I keep to the same theme. Have you noticed I&#8217;m completely in the holiday mood? I actually ONLY intended to have a forum and not a blog. Why? Because I wanted to start a monthly book club and a forum seemed the best way to accomplish that. I expected to have it completed in January but a child at home for 11 days makes writing kind of difficult, so my efforts went into customizing the blog and forum during his waking hours. My poor revisions, which have suffered, were relegated to the dark and quiet of the night.<\/p>\n<p>I will have an official launch for the forum in November with some giveaways and polling to find out which November release readers want to be the first THE SEASON Book Club Pick. In the meanwhile, 2 early bird members will have an opportunity to win a random historical romance (haven&#8217;t chosen them yet but they will be\u00a0 new releases). The drawing will take place October 18th.\u00a0 Join <a href=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/theseasonforum\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THE SEASON forum <\/a>now to enter to win.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-46\" data-postid=\"46\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-46 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And here I thought I wouldn&#8217;t be blogging that much.
