Maurice Sendak

Maurice Sendak, Author of Splendid Nightmares, Dies at 83

Unlike Pierre,  a lot of people care.....

April lament

sigh taxes done.... forget about reading must sell books!

oh sadness

must, must, must do taxes..... but I wanna READ.   

ramble

I got a nifty new Roomba vacuum cleaner and tried it for the first time yesterday. It immediately headed under the bed to annihilate the dust bunnies nesting there. After a few forays it emerged, triumphantly pushing my copy of Michelle Sagara's Cast in Ruin that the dust bunnies were holding hostage.  I LOVE my new robot.  Pardon me I must go re-read my rescued book.

Shop Small

Remember this is Shop Small Saturday.  Support a small independent business today (and hopefully every other day too!)  For out of print and collectible children's books you can show that support at: finebks.com.                         Thank You!

dumb, dumber, dumbest!

The freerice website now has a literature quiz....and I STINK at it.  I really should start reading something more than children's books or fantasy.
