Vacation scheduled over Vic College Booksale Wknd. 1st time in 7 yrs I'll miss it but maybe now this time next yr won't have 76 books TBR.

@sarahmac @typebooks @heatherbirrell @carrieasnyder @danielgriffin @kcpicklemethis Nice to see you, Sarah, and thanks all for a great event.

Tonight I learned the great joy of hosting an event whilst wearing a dress that actually fits. You should try it. Great readings too.

@sherfitch Oh, how I long to pluck a question from the earth. Or a comma. Wonderful!

It's raining maple-key helicopters.

Unbooks

Though I do love books, I have a particular aversion to books that aren’t actually books. I am unfond of gift books, decorative books, foam books, faking books, and faux books. I do believe that these inferior items unjustly ride on the coattails of a sacred object. And so it was quite remarkable when I fell in love with this treasure up in the Lakes, though the price tag put it out of my league.
I suppose I have a particular aversion to books that aren’t books, unless the book happens to be a teapot.
