Round Up

I just have a few items to share with you.

R.I.P. Nicholas Ashford-thank you and Valerie Simpson for all of your music, especially I'm Every Woman.

What people don't get about working in a library.

I love these matte Mason Jars.

Listening to: Jeri Southern and Michael Franks

Books that have sparked an interest: Boltzmann's Tomb: Travels in Search of Science (Bellevue Literary Press)by Bill Green, Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site (Chronicle Books) by Sherri Rinker and Cool City by Sean Kenny (Henry Holt and Company).

Oh my I would love to have the Dorothy Parker Audio Collection.

What would Flannery O'Connor tweet?

How fun-the Post-It war.

Which cemetery is the most literary?

Good Grief-Misquotes on the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Memorial.

Origins of weird state park names.

Look at this adorable popsicle stick house from Martha Stewart. I've made lots of things with popsicle sticks in my day, but never anything as cute as this. Also, see the deer. If anyone knows where I can find small plastic deer statues please let me know. I would like them to be a little lighter in color than this particular one. I have an idea for my holiday mantle this year, but I need cute deer.

I love this print. It says all of the things I love about autumn.

Time magazine picks its 100 best non-fiction books of all time.

HyperHistory.

Have a nice week. 24 days until October.
