OW!

     This stupid gigantic reference book, Encyclopedia of the Vietnam War, just fell off a cart and jabbed my arm. It hurts, it's scraped, and it'll probably BRUISE.
     LOOK at it:


     I don't even LIKE the Vietnam War.
     If anybody notices my injury and asks what happened, I'm just going to give a grim shake of my head and say, "Vietnam."

BIBLIOBURRO


     Found this image on Tumblr (via "Bookporn") and really like this organic alternative to Bookmobile. You can't PET Bookmobile, right? Well, I guess you could, but it wouldn't be cute and soft and look at you with big limpid eyes. Couldn't feed Bookmobile a carrot. Okay, I guess I've made my point.

THE BACK CORNER OF THE LIBRARY



     After a period of several hours with the library full of students, I found this in the back corner. And yes, that's a hole torn in her mouth.
     Did YOU do that?
     If so, you should be ashamed. I'm not exactly sure HOW ashamed, and I don't WANT to know. But you should be ashamed.

PEDAL YOUR WAY TO ADVENTURE


     I love charmingly dorky vintage book covers, so a friend gave me this book jacket when she weeded this one from her library. I love the tagline:
"Four girls pedal their way to mystery and adventure."

     I almost didn't notice the illustrator's unfortunate last name until my husband pointed it out. Tee-hee!
     You may snicker at some of my friend's other discards HERE.
