I've been writing my personal library programming blog for a while. But I can't say everything I need to say about my obsessive love for books on a blog for children's librarianship. So I figured I'd start a new blog devoted to books, bookishness, and all around literary geeking out.
I named this blog The Cardigan Catalog, because next to a book, a cardigan is a librarian's best friend. We work with the public, and temperatures in the library fluctuate with season and body count. So removable clothing layers are a must. As for the catalog bit, if you don't know what a Card Catalog is, I encourage you to do your due diligence and look it up.
Go ahead. Google! Be free! I'll wait.
You got it? Cool. Then, I'll assume you get the funny, and I'll proceed.
It is now September, which mean two things to my reading life. Halloween is coming ...
and so is NaNoWriMo.
I confess I am writing a novel. And it's hard y'all! But I won't bore you with the details of that, except to say that my reading list currently consists of style manuals, paranormal romance, celtic mythology, and lots and lots of horror. You do the math.
Mr. King aside. Here are my current reading pics.
The Transitive Vampire by Karen Elizabeth Gordon.
A horror comedy grammar book, you say? Pre-Twilight, Post-Gothic vampire references you say? I'm all in!
Sanctum by Madeleine Roux.
I listened to the first book in Roux's Asylum series while playing the PC version of The Room on Steam. Very apropos. Very creepy. And I very much am going to listen to this second book while playing The Room Two.
And just for a shot of full-on terror, I'm re-reading My Best Friend's Exorcism: A Novel by Grady Hendrix.
Come for the 80's cheese. Stay for mindbending terror and trauma, that will have you refusing any food product any friend offers you - ever!
