Thanks! I thought a BINGO card might be less intimidating than a reading log.

Ok, this officially takes the title of most insane from that last story! Gah! Wouldn’t that cause an infection?

Yesterday I heard the most insane drug test failure story ever. A person I know took their son’s urine to a drug test, but did not bring enough. Said person then topped off the urine cup with Red Bull! They truly believed they could substitute Red Bull for urine and that it would go unnoticed.

A Librarian's Response to "What's a Library?"

A Librarian's Response to "What's a Library?":

librarylinknj:

Rita Meade’s response to Michael Rosenblum’s recent piece in the Huffington Post, “What’s a Library?”:

Honestly, I wouldn’t give articles like these a speck of my attention other than to roll my eyes IF the authors hadn’t been given a voice in a widely-read forum. As I have written in previous posts months ago about Terry Deary andTony Lee, it’s less about trying to change their minds and more about not letting those misconceptions of libraries to be sitting out there in the spotlight, unchallenged. It always has been and will always be my opinion that where there is ignorance, people need to counter it with knowledge. And, incidentally, libraries just happen to be great places to gain knowledge.

A three person passion party and then Gay Prom until 3:00am probably wasn’t the best idea the night before my first time cooking and hosting Mother’s Day dinner…. But it was fun.

I don’t remember if I shared this or not, but there’s a WV Reads 150 team in Sissonville named “Bookwild”.

This is fantastic!

I’ve been struggling with something lately, and in effort to get it out and move on with the writing, I blogged.

If our YA male characters are allowed their experiences of desire, it seems wrong that our female characters are not afforded that same personhood, the same standard.

That awkward moment when someone you haven’t talked to since 8th grade sends you a Facebook message. What do you want, dude?
