Like the logo? Or, rather, LOVE the logo? A big thanks to John LeMasney via lemasney.com for the terrific logo; and if you’re using the image with your 30 Days post, please remember to give John credit! As you’ve figured out, it is May which means that it is the start of Show Me The [...]
Remember my self promotion post from a few days back, about Pop Goes the Library: Using Pop Culture to Connect to Your Whole Community AKA the book that Sophie Brookover and I wrote? And I said how Sophie and I have contributed a couple of guest posts to our publisher’s blog, ITI Books Blog? Well, [...]
A couple days ago, The New York Times had an opinion piece, Wikipedia’s Sexism Towards Female Novelists. Long story short: “editors have begun the process of moving women, one by one, alphabetically, from the “American Novelists” category to the “American Women Novelists” subcategory.” Also take a look at The Atlantic Wire’s take: Wikipedia’s Boys Club [...]
I mentioned the Veronica Mars Kickstarter last month (which, by the way ended up being funded for $5.7 Million). There’s another Kickstarter I want to mention, because it’s library related: Circulating Ideas, the Librarian Interview Podcast. You may remember that twice I’ve been a guest of Steve Thomas on this podcast, once in July 2012 [...]

What makes a grown woman scream in delight, then have to redo her budget to double the numbers of books that can be bought? This, via Publishers Weekly: “Ig Publishing, which for more than a decade has maintained a list of fiction and nonfiction for adult readers and reissues for the academic market, is moving [...]
True confession: I have never read The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier. Or, if I have, I’ve forgotten it. Also? Sometimes I get it confused with another book I haven’t read, A Separate Peace by John Knowles. I’ll give you all a moment to recover from that. Back? You OK? Need a glass of water? [...]
Officially, it is Spring. So, Spring Cleaning! I’m not the only one who thinks of online cleaning and organizing when springtime comes; this past weekend was Bloggiesta, which is about “ticking off those items on your to-do list and improving your blog.” So, what am I doing?
