Saturday Review 5-2-09: This week around the blogiverse
Bulletin Board Mothers’ Day (or is it Mother’s Day? Why am I unsure?) is a week from tomorrow, and I’m planning several posts that spotlight moms next week – two book reviews, some observations on issues both of those books discuss, and a look at some notable literary mothers. I think it’s my first official Theme Week on The 3 R’s, and I hope you’ll check it out! New arrivals in Google Reader Le Shallow […]
Saturday Review 4-25: This week around the blogiverse
The links are a little sparse this week, folks – my apologies. It has been Hell Week at work, and it’s probably going to last longer than just a week; we’re in the midst of two separate audits, which has made for some long days and led to the use of the “mark all as read” button in Google Reader a few times. I’ve gone to UCLA for the Festival of Books today – I’ll […]

Saturday Review 3-21: This week around the blogiverse

It’s tentatively scheduled for July 18-19 in Portland, OR.

Back to books and movies (and kids, and chickens and eggs)…
The “which comes first – books or movies” post a couple of weeks ago kicked up some decent discussion, and that sent me back to the topic, looking at it from a slightly different angle this time. …As I mentioned in the original post, my stepchildren’s mother has a rule that the kids cannot see a movie based on a book unless they have read the book first, and it’s a rule that she wants […]
Saturday Review 3-7-09

If this is your month, be sure to stop by and let her know! (I already have my button over in the sidebar.) And if you’re not fortunate enough to have been born during March, you’re not being left out of the fun – she has an “unbirthday” […]
Saturday Review 2-28-09
Bulletin Board ** This week’s announcement is actually me asking for a favor. ** The agenda for BlogHer’09 will include some member-programmed sessions under the umbrella “A Room of Your Own,” and the session that I have proposed was one of three featured this week on BlogHer.com. I’d love to see a Room for the book-blogging community: “Book Bloggers: So Many Words, So Little Time.” There’s no guarantee that it will get on to the […]
Saturday Review 2-21-09
I feel like the linkage is a little sparse this week, folks. Between work and that little distraction we had on Monday, I’ve just about been keeping up – so it won’t take you quite as long to catch up on the randomness here :-). And just in case you were wondering – my pinky finger is almost recovered, and most of our aches and sore spots are about gone, but a few bruises linger. […]
