    Wondering... when I look at stats on my blog that say where someone came from, I have less than five hits from the POC site. Does that suggest that people taking the POC challenge already know all they need to know and so don't need to read the criticism?

    I also invite you to follow Elizabeth Bird's Top 100 Novel's countdown at her site. I blogged it today. What do YOU see when you look at favorite books?

    AND, I wish it was shocking to read Amy's SLIPPERY SLOPES post at her WAR blog....

    Not her words, I mean, but the comment by Chris about what gets considered for inclusion on the Notable Books list.

    I hope others will be as upset as I am over this incredibly racist colonial ad for Skin White for Teens now running on TV in the Philippines in prime time-

    It will be interesting to see how the whole Vook idea develops. It doesn't grab me, but I can see how it might be very appealing to a younger audience.
