Gardeners, start your bookpiles

If you didn't realize it, LT sponsors book pile contests, photos of a pile of your books, based on a theme. This month, there's two themes, women's history and spring, which includes gardening. More information here.It's our opportunity to show the rest of the reading world that there's a lot more to gardening books than they thought. Past book piles and the winners can be viewed here. There used to be a requirement to have a white background to the photo, but I don't think that's necessary anymore, though you do want to have an uncluttered background. I plan on putting my stack in front of the refrigerator. It would not be difficult to have a gardening pile with only women authors, either. The prize isn't bad, so I hope lots of you gardeners take up the challenge!

What a great idea while we are suffering from cabin fever waiting for spring!

You've got less than 24 hours to get your gardening bookpile submitted to Flickr. Tag it LibraryThingMarch. Go here to see all the entries. Unfortunately it is also a Women's History bookpile contest. (Unfortunate because it dilutes the bookpile theme, not because women have history.) My favorite is Spring Chicks Dig Chick Lit by Pesky Library.
