February 29. A whole extra day in the year. It should be a holiday, shouldn't it? Here it is, a day that doesn't exist for 3 years, let's celebrate it. It should be National Goof Off Day since it's a free day. Play video games, laze around, and read.Anyway let's celebrate by checking out the book news:
This was interesting. A picture of Anne Frank's sweetheart has been found. It's sweet and sad at the same time. Peter died during the Holocaust.
Found through bookgirl: 50 Crime Writers to Read Before You Die. That's quite a few!
Canada Reads is down to 3 books: King Leary, Icefields and Not Wanted On the Voyage.
Update: King Leary is the 2008 winner!
Interested in Daphne DuMaurier? Justine Picardie has written in a new book on the famous writer.
For Bloggers, Blurb 'slurps' your blog into a book for you. So pretty. (mentioned by Design Mom)
Speaking of blogs...Random House published Ultimate Blogs by Sarah Boxer. How long the information in this book will be relevant is the question.

Anyway I had a nutty week and today the kid is home. Must go entertain.
I totally agree with you on what we should be doing today with our extra day!
ReplyDeleteI have been saying the same thing about today being a holiday. Why not? Since we are getting an extra day, we should be able to utilize it however we want! Of course, my managers do not agree. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Leap Day!
Suey & Trish- We should start a movement ;)
ReplyDeleteI just taged you for a meme Chris. Come out and play.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, my students tried to convince me (and probably all their instructors) of that very idea about the 29th! I would have been all for it, too, but unfortunately I do not determine the schedule here. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, any time websites are put into books, I find that half of them no longer exist.
