(no subject)

I just found out that one of the local TV news programs ran a story about our church's marriage equality banner dedication. (Video at the link, and also a text summary.) What's especially interesting to me is that they apparently felt no need to provide "balance" by interviewing someone who opposes our position.

50-book challenge: February.

Books I read in February: ( Westerfeld, Quindlen, Tyler, Menzel et al, Asaro, Trelease, Aidan, O'Neill, Bechdel. )

Two books I emphatically did not read in February: ( Handler, Colfer )

Edited to add:
I also read The Fourth Bear, by Jasper Fforde, and then, apparently, promptly forgot about it. This isn't a Thursday Next book - it's another series, about the "Nursery Crimes Division" of the Reading Police Department. It's vintage Fforde: puns, literary allusions, self-referentiality, and a mystery plot, sprinkled with lots of little clever bits. But it just didn't add up to very much, for me. It felt recycled.

Total for February: 9 10
Total for the year: 18 19
