Acting More Like a Librarian

I did not become a librarian because I love books.

This is a good thing because one of my childhood friends is much better than I with regularly reading and writing about books, and she let me do a guest entry review today for Girl in a Blue Dress.

I may give the book a re-read down the road but my guess is Diana Gabaldon has permanently wrecked my expectations for the historical fiction genre. I still have to smirk at the title of her upcoming novel (An Echo in the Bone) but it's not like I'm counting down the seconds until it's out next month.





OK maybe I am. Of course I'm hoping Amazon gets it to me before the release date!

Friday Foolery #10: Dem bones

One of my friends alerted me to the fact that both of her sisters are among the workers in a recent local news video magazine feature about their incredibly cool employer, Sawbones.

Bonus: see the staff spirit around 1:15 and 1:59 in the video link?

I had no idea that Vashon Island was cranking out over 4,000 bones a day for the greater medical & orthopedic training needs of the world! To the left is a full skull, yours for $54.75, or without a mandible for $39.00.

Is it so wrong that I want one of these for Christmas to put on my desk?
