Big Excellent News for Yahoo!

So glad to hear Marissa Mayer will be the new Yahoo CEO and then to hear the even better news!  She's pregnant!  Bravo for her on both counts!

We were on a panel together a long time ago and a few people didn't seem to take her seriously because she was so young.  Boy did they get it wrong!

This is a day we will all spend imagining the cool and innovative things Yahoo will do with her at the helm.  Yes, words nobody's been pairing with Yahoo recently -- cool, innovative -- but watch what happens! Photo Credit: Wikipedia

Summer Reads

Since I read all the time, just about every day, every week, every month and certainly every season, I find this whole "summer reads" concept a little shaky. Tell me -- does it mean people don't bother reading except when they are on vacation?! Arghhh! I hope not.

Is there a reason there should be only one season of literary binge eating?! I'm jamming my mind (not mouth) full of adverbs, adjectives, action and adventure on a daily basis.  Shouldn't you read books every day, like healthy eating, swallowing big delicious novels full of crazy characters in faraway places, redolent of cinnamon, spice, some girls, not so nice every chance you get? 

Books are nicely designed to be consumed in all seasons -- for winter, spent it with Zhivago at Varykino, greet spring in a boring Yonville with an dissatisfied Madame Bovary, and for summer camp chose Humbert Humbert as your guide, and finally when hit with a bit of back-to-school longing, feel free to follow Stephen Dedalus to the schoolyard in autumn. 

Yes, it's apparently called a "p-book"

I think we've gone full circle when someone has to make up a new word for the thing that is the opposite of an e-book.  You remember, that thing that used to be called a "book"  -- plain and simple.  Now I just heard someone refer to it as a "p-book" -- aka a paper book or physical book.

BEA rocks it this week!    You're not going to Book Expo in NYC?  Not possible.

New Blogger has a new look!

It looks ugly and hard to use like WordPress!

Honestly ... who's great idea was this?
