Friday Bookish Buzz: Back to School

Pin It

iz in ur liberry steelins ur bookz

The first week of school. Oh my nerves! Children are a constant worry. Constant. Someday she'll be grown and I can stop worrying, right???! Yeah, I know, lies we tell ourselves. Anyway, it's back to normal around here again. As normal as it can be. At least I'm not making my cats read.

*Sad news: Michael Hart has died. If you've downloaded a book from Project Gutenberg, you have him to thank.

*Should The Dictionary keep up with the ever changing online vernacular?

*Yes, it is hard to give away your books, even ones you didn't love.

*The Man Booker Prize shortlist has 2 Canadians on it.

*Mark Twain, board game inventor.

*Do you have a book blogger story from 2011 to share with Raych?

*Etsy Love: For book lovers who like kitschy-retro things, a Book Lovers tin can magnet from Picard Creative.

Have a good one!

  3. That's really sad that Michael Hart died. I love hard copies of books, but the e-book has opened so many doors to accessibility to reading for so many people.
