Did you notice we had an announcement this week that you won't probably see regular blogs about every week?

It was a bit busier week than usual on a Anthology release week. Now that we have two weeks of poetry anthos out, tell me 2 things. 1, how many have you read. 2, which one would you recommend to others? Okay, you don't have to choose just 1, but was thinking that we might get a wide range of likes. Maybe even tell us what you liked about it as if you were a salesman selling poems like the encyclopedia salesmen of old  If you don't know what an encyclopedia is, think Wikipedia in book form but no editing allowed  

Also it is the time of year that my company comes to year end on Apr 30, meaning I need to take two weeks of holidays or lose them  No plans, except maybe flying into Buffalo to meet up with @Valkyrie to hand over the HUGE book I have on a certain member  . Somehow I feel this is going to firmly bite me in the ass again  

Now onto what all happened this week!

Monday our super review team put forward a great review by @chris191070, that finally got out to you :

Tuesday we had that huge announcement that I was eluding to. In case you haven't heard, pop in and welcome Val to the GA Staff Team:

Thursday was our final blog for the week, since we want the Anthologies to be featured for the rest of the week :

Although we had 3 blogs, we also had 7 days of Words of The Day:

intone, mauve, ophthalmology, arable, lunkhead, surreptitious, applejack

17. Jericho's Wall by Rusty Slocum **Complete** @Jjeffalch said, "This was a beautiful story, compelling characters, with just the right balance of light-heartedness and foreboding, and masterfully written.  We knew from the beginning that Jer and Mat's time together would be limited, and it was wonderful to see how they both embraced what time they had and cherished the memory of each other thereafter. I have seldom enjoyed a story as much as this one.  I really hope you have more of them up your sleeve and will soon share them with us."
