Hello All! Our most recent issue of the State of the Thing newsletter is on its way to more than one million Thingamabrarians!

This month we covered a number of new and improved features, including Your Authors by State, the Common Knowledge author pages, a Helper Log upgrade, a Local Map upgrade, and a work summary cleanup.

We invited members to contribute to our Books We Resisted Reading List of the Month. We also offered interviews with book shop proprietor Stacy Mitchel and author Katie Holt, 2,966 free Early Reviewer books, our book news section, and all of our regular columns.

Feel free to launch a discussion here of anything in this month's issue, or to offer feedback on SOTT in general, or on specific sections, columns, or news items.

Read our May Issue online.
