Two boys, one outfit.
Big Exciting News of the Week: TRISH is coming to see me! Ok, she's coming to see Mt. Rushmore and the Sturgis Rally. I just happen to live here too. I. Am. So. Excited!!! (see Trish, I can have CAPS-LESS emphasis too!)
Today's Dead Horse: Partial feed blogs. Seriously, why? I am really asking. If I subscribe to one it immediately gets labeled "chopping block", which means you get very few chances to wow me, and since you only have about 3 sentences to try it, you better be good in those three sentences.

You can't have read many book blogs in the last week and not seen anything about the controversy over Justine Larbalestier's Liar
cover. While I see the original point, that the cover is not representative of the book by not having a black girl on it and that the publisher is being a bit racist, I can't help but notice that I've heard a LOT more about Liar than I would have otherwise. A small part of me thinks that perhaps the whole thing is working in the author's favor now.
I was reading and enjoying Graceling
quite a bit. Then Mike stole it to read and now it has vanished. I hope it shows up soon. Meanwhile, I moved on to Along for the Ride
.
In the interest of full disclosure, I signed up for Amazon Associates. I won't be linking to random crap, just the things I would have been linking to anyway. I don't expect to make anything off it, but I figured that I send so many links Amazon's way that they could send some back my way. Maybe.
Garden Update: Some of the tomatoes are rotting at the end, but SOME of the tomatoes are turning yellow, hopefully on their way to red. A couple more zucchini this week. A TEENY little pumpkin.
