What I Missed While Away

I came back to find more than 1600 unread posts in my RSS feed. NOT GOOD. I have a syllabus to write and summer school classes to prepare for, which happen to start tomorrow. Sadly, I'm going to have skip most of the unread posts, but here are a few links that caught my eye.

• Barbara O'Connor's puppy pictures.
  
• A new blog entitled John Green is Overrated.
• Laura Salas' quotes from IRA.
• Book trailer for Grace Lin's new book, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon.
• Mari L’Esperance at How a Poem Happens.
• Emily post at the KR blog.
• Kelly Herold (Big A little a) is back with a new blog, Crossover. Welcome back, Kelly!
• Article in the Guardian books blog - How Ursula K Le Guin led a generation away from realism
• Article in the Times - Some Thoughts on the Lost Art of Reading Aloud
  
• Holy crap I missed the SBBT! Here is the complete Summer Blog Blast Tour schedule.

Okay, back to my syllabus. Happy reading!
