Book Crack has begun

Check my links - it's there. I believe Jay may have sent you invitations via email. Thankfully, because my outlook address book still sucks since i switched computers.

Sign up, log in, put in your requests for the first selection. I will announce it May 15 so we can all finish up what we're currently reading or get our requests in the hat.

Anyone oinks, they're dead meat

So yeah, I think the kids and I have the flu. I don't know if it's THE flu, but it's definitely some kind of flu. We have fevers, runny noses, fatigue, coughing.

So I don't feel very good and I don't know how long I'll be out of work. I stayed home with the kids today and will tomorrow too if their fevers don't break. Lame. I guess it's not the worst time for me to be out of work, but I might sneak in tonight to get my laptop. Or tomorrow morning.

The kids are mood-swinging between laying on the couch, bouts of playing, and screaming at each other. Good times.

New Idea?

So, I was trolling the library website this morning (did you know they now have audio downloads???) and I came across book club kits - 8-10 copies of a book and discussion questions. That gave me an idea...

Would anyone be interested in a quarterly book club? We can start a new site, like Recipeeps but with books, and use it to discuss books. Everyone can kind of rustle up their own copy from whatever library you are located with and we'll try not to choose anything too popular so we can ensure it will be available.

Because really, aren't you just dying sometimes to discuss a book with someone?

P.S. - Am currently on book 5 of Kashka's Vamp Crack.
