Best of 2008 lists

I came across this neat music and literature blog today called Largehearted Boy. He has tons of cool stuff to explore on his blog but one especially nice feature is his compilation of all those year-end "best of books" lists. You can see his list for 2008 so far here.

From his blog, I saw a link to USA Today's list of best-selling books for the last 15 years. The books on this list aren't too surprising (hint: we muggles love our diet books!) but I still find these types of lists fascinating.

Monday Meme

Just a quick question. What book are you thankful for?

Celebrity Lookalikes!

Post your own!



Victoria Bernadotte is apparently a Swedish princess. So disappointed there's no Katie Holmes or Audrey Tatou!

Finally, an official diagnosis!

Do you have PEWS?

Post-Election-Withdrawl-Syndrome:

The feeling of general depletion and emptiness in the few days after a presidential election. Caused by the sudden withdrawal of any campaign coverage, sound bites, or pictures of babies being kissed. May be accompanied by aimless clicking on news websites looking for something to read.

*NOTE: This condition has been observed in people whether their chosen candidate won or not.

Other symptoms: actually having to read the book club book to have something to talk about this month.
