Oo, er. My book appears to be out this month. You know, the book the writing and editing of which I've whinged obsessively about for the last several years, and the publication of which will infallibly catapult me to the heights of academic acclaim? (not). Just for nostalgia's sake, have a bunny, because of course I owe it all to the bunny:

I have about a jazillion things to do today, including checking board schedules, retch hurl, so the description of my weekend in Elgin attending weddings will have to wait. In the meantime, have some random linkery to go with the bunny, namely Animal Review's take on snails.

Bookhunter I do know, it's pleasingly absurd. I don't know The Librarian, although the artwork is stunning. And I am, naturally, delighted to be associated with the furtherance of Project L-Space in any form. Prolongued association with academic libraries has made me a dab hand with the .303 bookworms. (The secret is to slow them down by slinging a quick tome of poststructuralist criticism in their path, and then hit them individually and firmly with the collected works of Shakespeare or a nice fat Dickens as they stagger disoriented out the other end).
I didn't know there were so many thriller-style works dedicated to librarians. I should acquire some for
