Random Thursday (ˈrandəm ˈTHərzdā): the day on which Sarah plunks down all the odd bits and pieces she’s been sent by friends or has otherwise stumbled upon this week in an effort to avoid writing a real post, the assembly of which usually ends up taking twice as much time as sitting down and creating actual content.
The readers in my life were happy this week.
The writers, not so much.
Some of them are the same people . . .

What Time is It?
Our Reference Department is now in charge of reshelving the New Book section,
so we can assist patrons in finding the latest titles
and also help keep an eye on titles that should be moved to the regular collection
to make room for new releases.
Since we’ve started doing this,
our circulation stats have skyrocketed.
Because anyone who shelves New Books
goes home with at least two of ’em.
From each cart . . .

Click the images and follow Mr. Gauld on Twitter.

Shakespeare’s Swag
I can’t tell you how tickled I am that
one of my favorite playwrights is responsible
for naming one of my favorite cookies.
Two great obsessions that go great together, they are.
ooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooo
Yes, the Book is Going Very Well . . .

I’m surprised it isn’t fifty shades of sparkling gray
The Whiskey River Soap Company
heard that writers can get into a real lather if they get blocked.
And someone said, “Hey!”
According to the website, it smells like cheap whiskey.
Or,
if you want to get fancy,
Fitzgerald and Hemingway.
If that scent doesn’t bring all the plotbunnies to your yard,
browse through their soaps and candles
for something that’s more . . . you
and check out their About Us page
and see how creativity is done.
(Thanks, caitlin!)
ooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooo
That is the Question
“Yeah, it is.”
