I had a little blog drama... well my template did anyways. I had been having a lot of issues with it over the last year anyways. Preview wasn't working, people couldn't comment on my blog from a mobile device, a few more things that I just put up with. But then this week the titles disappeared. My blog title, post titles and the titles on the side bar. I tried everything to get them to come back but the template was just so old (made in 2004) that I think it just didn't stay updated with bloggers new updates. Right now I have up a temporary look. I am hoping to have a new one made soon... looks like I have a designer lined up. So excited you should see something new on here in June.
Love this tweet:
What if dead people started tweeting? There might be a story in that. Charles Dickens could tell how DROOD was supposed to end.

Around the Blogospere:
-Are Online Book Clubs "Real" Book Clubs? I love the article. I run two book clubs on goodreads and have found so much joy in them. I can't find any in real life despite how much I have tried.
- Police were called for someone handing out a book for World Book Night. So sad. :(
- What format of book do you favor? Really a well thought out post about the different types of books we read.
-The decline of Barnes and Nobles book clubs. I have been hearing a lot about this lately.
-My book clubs on goodreads are reading Desperation by Stephen King and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz.
- Are you bothered by "cheerleaders" who help cheer us on during events (Dewey, Bout of Books, Armchair BEA). Personally I love that people do this and I am going to be one of the cheerleaders for Bout of Books.
-Join in the #weneeddiversebooks campagin! May 1, 2, and 3rd.
