Friday Bookish Buzz: It's Not the Heat...
see more Lolcats and funny pictures
It's the humidity. Seriously. I'll take the heat- it's really not that hot- but this stickiness is making me crazy. I guess that means summer is finally here. My girl is home and signed up for the library's summer reading program. We brought home lots of books. I had to get one too- my last Canadian Reading Challenge book. I finished it! That's means I'm done! Yay! I need to celebrate.
*Stop being a sooky baby Holden Caulfield! That's what they'd say around here. I should be embarrassed to admit this but I never read Catcher in the Rye and thought it was about farmers.
*Some big names signed up for The International Festival of Authors.
*Wow, these are some crazy images from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Anne Hathaway looks gorgeous.
*Plagiarism. Yep, it's in the news again. First Elizabeth Hasselbeck then Chris Anderson, the author of Free.
*Stick a fork in it. Kate Gosselin's book Love Is in the Mix is still going to be published- for now.
*It's a Goose! It's a Canoe! It's Captain Canuck! He fights crimes while being very polite.
*Etsy Love: Love the disclaimer- "No pages are harmed during the purse making process." It's the first thing I wondered. Book Handbags from A Spoonful of Chocolate Hope. (Thanks for the tweet Michelle@Scribbit).
After all the celebrity deaths this week, let's hope it's a quiet weekend. Have a good one!

Can I admit that Alice in Wonderland (the Disney movie) freaked the heck out of me when I was a kid? I actually asked my mom to get rid of our tape because I found it weird and scary. Knowing Tim Burton, I'm willing to bet this will be even weirder, but maybe as an adult it won't be quite as freaky :-)
The humidity is terrible, huh? I have to mow the lawn, so that will be fun. And, then, tomorrow starts five days of rain. Yep, summer is here, but it is not off to a very good start!
I hated Catcher in the Rye too!! Only got to page 2, then gave it up and read something else, for school many eons ago.
As for the Canadian challenge, good for you! I'm stuck at 3, and it's June 28th, midnight....,maybe I'll find a few Robert Munsch to read on my children's bookshelves! Good idea!!!
