Blech

I just weeded a couple hundred fiction books.  Guess how that makes me feel?

SAD.

But it has to be done.

Ack!  The polka dots on my new journal style are not showing up.  They are housed on photobucket.  Curse you, work filter!  Must upload the dots to LJ, I guess.

I bought a copy of Cygnet by Patricia McKillip at the used bookstore.  How is it?  Should I read it next?

Hey, I'm reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, too. It's really excellent, and I love the illustrations.

I like the polka dots. (c:

Oh, thanks. The filter at work blocks photobucket so at work my journal looks polka dot-less. I tried to change the html code but it's just a little beyond me.

I'm glad you're reading this, too. I've very mixed about it and afraid that I might be completely off-base. I've been working on a book post and I really hope you'll give me your opinion. I'll wait until you are finished reading it, though. Will you give me a heads-up and let me know when you are done? Or, you can do a book post and I'll comment on yours. Awesome.

I'll definitely let you know when I'm finished with the book. It's a short book but I keep putting it off, especially since I have two review books to get done by June 3. Plus, it's a little sad so far, and I'm not into sad so much right now, what with the stress of moving. I should really just sit down and plow through it, heh.
