Today Editorial Anonymous both opened a can of worms and used a tag I only remember seeing on Read Roger, “I’m so going to hell,” which i think is appropriate for the topic of trying to make a list of quintessential children’s books due to the possibility, as she explains, that she’s [...]

Had a great Christmas Eve with a friend watching the extended edition of The Two Towers, then slept in Christmas morning, opened the presents my grandma and sister had sent me (vintage Whitman’s candy tin!

I absolutely HATE those stupid jewelry commercials. Because YES, honey, what I want for you to express your love for me is a big, shiny rock that was acquired through child slavery and whole-village slaughter. And via Alpha Consumer, I have finally found a way to express it (though they don’t get into the blood [...]

I also got a cover of Red Dragon Codex drawn by a reader. It’s awesome, and I’d show a picture if I had a working camera.

Totally AWESOME zombie movie on SciFi right now. As I watch them devour braaains on mute, because yeah, gross, and I’m too tired to change the channel, some thoughts on my day.

Got a package in the mail this morning. Two, actually. It’s always so fun to get a package. One from my sister, one from my Grandma, both Christmas presents. Dilemma: do I open them? It’s so tempting! But the temptation eases when I see that Grandma has also included my Girl Scout cookies, which I [...]

This link is over a month old, and but Booksquare’s Kassia Krozser speaks directly to what we were discussing a couple weeks ago about reaching our readers through online efforts.
