Man, the entries have really started to pile up since I last did one of these posts! So far, there have been ~50 entries logged through the online form, and 20 of those have already arrived here at Blooker Central. That's a marked improvement from the way things stood after the first month of the 2006 Blooker. Here are the next four submissions, and, once again, I am amazed by the sheer varitey of blooks we are getting in this year.

"Tracey Henry writes about her adventures living family values in today's world. And although it may not always be as glamorous as it sounds, it is always hilarious. Suburban Diva’s stories from the real side of the picket fence are the chick lit postscript: insights for the woman who has already won her romance battles and finds the spoils are as humorous and entertaining as the pursuit."
