And now for something completely different...
As promised yesterday, here's a picture of my cat with some comic books. Hope everyone has a great weekend, and I'll see you when I get back from my vacation on the 18th! :)

Book Club Title Options
Hi again! Here are the three books we're looking at for our next book club titles:
Be sure to vote on Facebook for the title or titles you want to read!
Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake
Cas has a unique job: he disposes of vengeful spirits. Some of the ghosts Cas deals with are tougher than others though; Anna, the ghost of a girl who was murdered many years ago, has killed everyone who’s ever set foot in the house where she died. But when Cas goes looking for Anna, something unexpected happens: she doesn’t kill him.
Looking for Alaska by John Green
Miles isn’t what you’d call a typical teenager, in the sense that his life has been notably uneventful. He doesn’t get in trouble, but he doesn’t have any real friends or romantic prospects either. Then he moves to a boarding school in Alabama, where he meets Alaska Young, a girl whose intelligence, recklessness, and beauty will change Miles’ life.
Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley
Cullen lives in Lily, Arkansas, where a birdwatcher thinks he’s discovered a woodpecker believed to be extinct since the 1940s. Cullen isn’t really interested in the ensuing woodpecker-related chaos though; he’s more concerned with the fact that his brother Gabriel has vanished. Meanwhile, in Africa, a young missionary has lost his faith. The way that these two very different stories are connected will definitely surprise you.
Hi everyone! Since I use blogs pretty frequently for work, I thought that today, I'd write a quick post about blogging. If you have a blog already, a lot of this stuff might still be helpful, especially if you're applying for jobs or college. First of all:
- Blogging can help you make important connections.
- A blog is a great way to advertise who you are.
- What do I like to do?
- What kind of talents do I have?
- What kind of college do I want to attend?
- What kind of job do I want to find?
- Be careful what you blog.
- General Tips About Blogging
If you'd like an example of a professional blog, check out the one I run for the library: http://ripl-teen-book-reviews.tumblr.com/
And as thanks for checking out this long text post, tomorrow I'll post a cute picture of a cat. (This is the internet after all, so even on a professional blog, there's room for the occasional cute cat picture. :))
