Have a great weekend, you guys.

“The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse” sounds very interesting! Having just finished “Ready Player One”, I was ready for a new one, so I checked it out from the library. Got it in both Kindle and audiobook formats. Before finishing the linkity. ;^D
Yay for post-apocalyptic librarians (says she who just bypassed librarians…)
Interesting history on price tags!
Mister Rogers! Hmm. Something in my eyes. Boy this house is dusty.
CHAOS!
Post apocalyptic library rocks
A recent post from blodeuedd..Audio: Love the one you’re with – Lauren Layne
Neat Cinderella story! I saw the twist coming, but still enjoyed it.
I can’t with that kitteh picture! Which direction is May’s head facing? Chaos has eyebrows! May is a cyclops! Aaaahhh!
A recent post from Nicole..Friday Reads: Goodreads TBR Declutter #3
i should hate you for linking to Six Degrees of Wikipedia. This is a bigger time suck than TV Tropes.
I just finished Their Eyes Were Watching God and couldn’t write down quotes fast enough. I loved that book and also just about everything Louise Erdrich has written. Thank you for the postcard! What a surprise. I am well and hope to blog this week (maybe). Chaos and Mayhem never looked better! 🙂
A recent post from Margene Smith..Silent Reading
The cat photo is epic 🙂 And I see what you mean about snowy! It’s currently very hot here…and humid!
