How Do You Like That?

As you know we discussed the upcoming Rep season at bookclub earlier this evening. I stated I had looked but couldn't remember the December show and thought I was disappointed. We then talked about Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and how that would be good. Well, actually, the December play is Joseph and the ATD (sans Donny - sorry!), so I guess I will be looking forward to the December show after all!

I would also be interested in Always!

Booking Mama Blogged about Susan

I found out about this great blog from Susan Gregg Gilmore: http://bookingmama.blogspot.com/ Booking Mama reviewed Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen a few days ago. Today she tells about meeting Susan and about how nice she is - but we already knew that, didn't we! I really like this blogger - even when she isn't talking about my favorite author!

The Bookseer

Just for fun go to http://bookseer.com/ and put in the last book you read and loved and see what The Bookseer thinks you should read next. I was excited because I put in The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie and The Bookseer told me I should read The Girl Who Played with Fire next. I read (and loved) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and have been waiting for the sequel to be released in the US - then I saw that the Bookseer is UK based and the sequel has been available in Europe since Jan. but won't be released here until the end of July. But still, it reminded me to get ready for it!

I Can Identify; or How the Library Keeps Me From a Life of Crime

China Daily reported that Surnamed Liu confessed to stealing 1,565 books during the past three years, but "said he felt his crime was just a bad habit." He told police he wasn't interested in reselling them: "I have no money but like reading very much, so I stole the books."
Guess he doesn't have a library in his neighborhood. Or town? Or country? What's a reader to do?
