Lately I feel like that cat!

We actually got some heat this week. I'm not a big fan of hot weather though. Sunshine I'm all for! I can't believe July is nearly over. Eep! I want to read a lot more before September.

This weekend is a long weekend. Yippee! Maybe we'll do something fun if the nice weather holds out. Any plans?

*This show for photographs of people reading by Andre Kertesz sounds like a don't miss opportunity.

*Know that bull statue near Wall St? Not a good idea to use a photo of it on a book cover without permission.

*A facebook group wants a library themed Ben & Jerry ice cream flavour. What do you think?

*This guy says you don't have to read that book.

*B&N likes to give people 'free' books and then wrap it all up in DRM.

*Take a deep breath before you click on this link. I am torn between amazement and sadness. The title is especially grating.

*Etsy Love: For fairy tale lovers a pendant from Charming Ladies Shop.

Have a great weekend!

  1. I agree - the book art is amazing and sad. Sigh.

  2. In a photography class last year, I did a presentation on Andre Kertesz. I love his work--it is fantastic. I gave notice to his 'people reading.' There are some fantastic photos! (Like a man sitting on a roof, and a child eating ice cream on top of a pile of newspapers.) And, of course, let's not forget how fantastic Kertesz' 'titles' for his photos are.

  3. I'm with you, I like the sunshine..hate the brutal summer heat. I can't wait for winter here! I just don't seem to read as much in the summer. I guess the heat melts my concentration!

  4. I actually like the idea for a library/book themed ice cream flavor. Why not? They have themed flavors for everything else.

    I can't stand people ripped up books to make chairs and all that stuff. Boo!

    I love the fairy tale pendant. I'm not sure I'd wear it so much as use it as a bookmark, though!
