Tidbits

• Perhaps the best literary map I've seen this year: The United States of YA.  
• I'm not even going to sugarcoat my huge disappointment that Ann M. Martin did not also feel that her Super Specials were super special enough to make her Babysitters Club Top Ten...
• My fellow Masshole Librarians are tatted, fierce, and fundraising!
• Out of this list of 21 classic opening lines in books, I'd like to give big snaps to the one of the only two children's titles that made the list for having the best opening line in my humble, totally correct opinion (The Graveyard Book).
• Everyone knows that the only wetsuit Finnick needs is his skin (and your imagination). 

Tidbits: LeBron James can read good (while stretching)

Being from Boston, right now I am meant to be cheering for the Celtics.
But instead, I find myself distracted by LeBron James' master plan to distract and win my affections, by continuing to read The Hunger Games.
You know, totally normally, while being stretched by another person.  On camera.

While normally I'd comment on how he's so positively influencing kids to read and how awesome that is,  I'm too busy being distracted by the size of his feet.
