Vampire Readings

Starting Book 1 of The Vampire Diaries, I just can't hold off any longer. Something about living forever, all that sadness and desire and angst.... think Frank Langella in Dracula, Tom Cruise in Interview with the Vampire or David Boreanaz as Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And for you guys, no one was better than Catherine Deneuve in 1983's The Hunger (IMHO).

Favorite Books Today

The Thirteenth Tale
If you read just one mystery novel this season -- or this year -- make it "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. This rich, multi-layered Gothic tale, in the tradition of Daphne DuMaurier and the Bronte sisters, grabs the reader from the first pages and doesn't let go.Read more: http://mysterycrimefiction.suite101.com/article.cfm/book_review__the_thirteenth_tale#ixzz0PgKU7YJk

Blogging in the Library

This is my first attempt at blogging. I am a graduate student at Ashford University, as well as a future librarian. Blogging, reading and writing all connect in my mind with my library.
But what about learning and teaching technology through a blog? Is it possible? Reasonable? Expected? With a little more research we shall see!
