Finding Something Friday on LISTVERSE

by

Honestly, I intended to update the Market of the Month. And if I’m being “Catholic’s Honor” honest, I’ve had that update on my list all week. But for whatever reason (watching the Braves, tweeting about the Braves, falling asleep on a lounge chair…well, there’s no sense getting bogged down with details) I haven’t quite researched Market of the Month. That doesn’t mean I don’t have something special for you.

I came across Listverse the other day when I saw this post “Top Ten Underrated Fantasy Stories Before 1937.” As I’m rather fond of fantasy, I spent awhile reading about the great fantasy I missed, on account of me not being born yet and all. And I’ll get to some of these fine works, as soon as I find them at my local library.

Meanwhile, I have a penchant for interesting trivia and lists, so I kinda hit the mother lode on Listverse! I started reading “10 Very Strange British Traditions.” And where I ended up, I can’t say. But it was all on the up and up. Catholic’s Honor.

Finding a LOT of Keepers at the Library!

by

One of my favorite places in the world is the library for lots and lots of reasons. But mostly because I can go there and browse among row after row of books and bring home pile after pile of books. All for free!

Which is kinda important for me. I read A LOT of books. Especially children’s books. And one of my favorite online places to hang out is a Fuse #8 Production, which is Elizabeth Bird’s blog at School Library Journal. She’s always going on and on about libraries and books. It’s a win-win for me.

April 12th was Library Appreciation Day and you might have read quite a few posts across the blogosphere about libraries…but I think I’ll declare this Library Bloggers Appreciation Day-with Fuse #8 at the top of the list!

(P.S. You can sign up for the School Library Journal newsletter and catch up on what kids are reading. Plus, you’ll find a lot of cool blogs to investigate over at Fuse #8- all about children’s reading, writing, and such. The more you know, the better writer you’ll be!)
