Here’s the schedule.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
The last week of every year always sits funny with me. Not sure why. It just seems like an odd lull between all the holiday hype dying off and the fireworks of the New Year.
So I hope you had a peaceful holiday and were gifted some good reads. It’s cold and wet down in our little corner of the world right now. Perfect reading weather. Which is good, because I’m forcing myself to finish Rubenfeld’s The Interpretation of Murder before tearing into some books I received this week: Kamp’s The United States of Arugula, Curtis’ And A Bottle of Rum, and Bryson’s The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid.
Hope you and yours have a happy New Year!
An extra day of BookTV goodness!
I have the dvr set for…
Eric Burns talking about his book Infamous Scribblers,
Artist Donald Jackson talking about a brand-new hand-illuminated Bible,
and David Kamp talking about his book The United States of Arugula.
Merry Christmas!
Well that was relativley painless. Those folks over at WordPress sure are smart. All went according to plan and I even installed one of those “math comment field” spam blocker deals.
Let me know if it gives you any trouble.
While all this was backing-up/updating I watched the New York Times Book Review tour that aired on BookTV this past weekend. Pretty cool if I do say so. That would be a most awesome job to have. Did you see the pile of books that will never appear in the pages of the NYTBR? HUGE!!!! They said they get some 1,000 books submitted per week and only review 30-40 per weekend. Wow.
Makes me want to go read So Many Books by Gabriel Zaid again.
