Introducing Readin'at!

So, you've heard how Pittsburgh has been making it onto all these "best of" and "top 10" lists, right?

Well, in February, we added another one to our list.

Pittsburgh is the 4th most literate city in the United States.

Fourth!

(Last year we ranked sixth, which certainly isn't too shabby. Sixburgh is a pretty awesome place to be, in our opinion.)

But fourth? Even better.

Yeah, fine, maybe that ranking really is some concocted marketing thing from Amazon or Facebook or whatever, but since we love this sort of thing 'round here, this calls for some celebration.

(Fireworks, anyone?)

Or, perhaps, maybe a book blog celebrating all things literary as it relates to da Burgh. Stuff like book reviews, literary events, upcoming readings, author interviews n'at.

There are already some fine Pittsburgh-centric book blogs already, and since Readin'at is a fan of them too, we'll be listing them on our sidebar as we continue building this site. (We're kind of new here, in more ways than one, so be patient with us.)

We're passionate about books and the 'Burgh, and the people and places that make words come alive.

Let's see where this story goes.
