xtina-marks-the-spot asked: Hi! I was googling DC book clubs & came across this tumblr. I thought: books, tumblr, cookies? what more could I ask for? I wanted to check if this was open to everyone or just a close group of friends that made a tumblr (if so - great idea). Hope I'm not intruding, but if its open to all, is there a chance I could hop on tomorrow? A little about me-24 years old, love a late night...
