I've just changed the format of this blog slightly by adding a column on the right to list the entries. We did this for the 2006 Blooker, but, to be honest, there was a slight problem--we listed the blooks as they were entered via the website, and many of them were never physically submitted! If you don't send in your blook, it's not eligible for the Blooker that year. It's a simple as that. (That's why Jessica Cutler's Washingtonienne is on the list again--she never sent it in last year, and was therefore able to re-enter it.)
Despite this potential point of confusion, I will still be listing all the blooks entered through the site. (What can I say? It makes an otherwise static blog a bit more dynamic.) However, if any of these entries fail to be submitted by the January 15 postmark deadline, I'm taking them down. Likewise, if it becomes apparent that an entry is ineligible for the Blooker (e.g. it is not based on online content, or it is not printed in English), it will be removed from the list. Make sense?
Something new for the 2007 Blooker will be posts about the legitimate entries as they get physically submitted. Seven have already come in, and I will be blogging about them in a bit more detail very soon.
