Gail Carriger is coming out with a new book in March of 2012, Timeless which should be interesting.  Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord won the Mythopoeic Award in July of 2011.  It is well worth reading.

I updated my selected links page with a few sites including Fictionaut, Urban Librarians Unite, Ernest Cline, and Feedbooks.

I went back and added the majority of my reviews to the review list.  I still have to edit some of them and make some changes so I can add some more. I will probably start on creating a links list.  I am spending some time adjusting my Twitter account.  It should make more sense to me by the end of the day.

I did a little more work with this blog as well. I added a links page. http://bookcalendar.blogspot.com/p/selected-links-page.html

The NY Comic Con is back again, October 8-10 2010 at the Javits Center.

Librarians always show up in large numbers for this event (which is the second largest event in NYC), so we should all get together to show our pride.

If you are a librarian or a library supporter attending the NY Comic Con, please join us at 12 noon on Friday of NY Comic Con for the EPIC LIBRARIAN PHOTO. We'll be meeting at the American Library Association's booth, #434. This is your chance not only to be in what we hope is the LARGEST ORGANIZED GROUP PHOTO AT NYCC, but also to meet other librarians in the area!

Please join us and spread the word. Tweet the link! http://bit.ly/b8ycZq
