Warning: this post contains blatant self-congratulation.

Thanks to the magic of manual data entry we finally finished adding all the folks who signed up for Unshelved at BEA and ALA last month. That means over 20,000 people now receive Unshelved by email. That many again read at the website or our RSS feed. Which means Unshelved has 40,000 readers. Wow! That's an incredibly big number! Thanks to everyone for continuing to get the message out. You rock.

P.S. If you just started reading Unshelved today, you can catch up in our archive. This week's sequence starts here, or you can go all the way back to the beginning, back when we had approximately zero readers.
