My Dewey Decimal Section

I saw this over at Life and Times of a "New" New Yorker and thought it was cute. I chose my favorite of the three sections it assigned me. Carol's Dewey Decimal Section: 052 Serials in English Class: 000 Computer Science, Information & General Works Contains: Encyclopedias, magazines, journals and books with quotations. What it says about you: You are very informative and up to date. You're working on living in the here and now, not the past. You go through a lot of changes. When you make a decision you can be very sure of yourself, maybe even stubborn, but your friends appreciate your honesty and resolve.

Musing Mondays

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about blog comments How do you respond to the comments on your blog? Do you try to email individually or comment on post yourself answering the comments above? What do you think is the best way to respond to comments and do you respond to all of them? Do you feel slighted if you don't receive a response back from the blog owner? (question courtesy of Jenn) The truth is, I'm not good at comments, leaving them or responding to them, but I'm going to work on it. I, personally, don't expect responses to any comments I leave, at least in general.  I know that's really not much of an answer, so I'll be interested in reading other responses. If you want to join in, head over to Just One More Page....

Library Loot 4/9

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva and Alessandra that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve borrowed from the library. Check out what other participants are bringing home from their libraries! I only picked up one this week, and it's a 7-day loan, which moves it to the top of my to-read pile. Amber's got a bunch at home already, and I happen to know that the Easter Bunny's bringing her Moonlight on the Magic Flute(Magic Tree House #41) by Mary Pope Osborne. I don't know if she still believes in the Easter Bunny or not, but that's another subject. The Perfect Poisonby Amanda Quick...
