Elmhurst Haunted Library,

  • The most cynical thing I have ever read in my life, an true account of writing term papers for hire.
  • I can't believe that this list of haunted libraries in the South has NO representation from Georgia! When I am a ghost, I promise to haunt the West Hunter Street Branch of the Atlanta Public Library (on MLK).
  • This is juicy. A woman is suing her sister because she claims her sister stole her manuscript by secretly downloading it from her laptop!
  • For the love of Nannie. Crystal Senter Brown found a hilarious haiku in a helpful suggestion from her grandma.
  • Shelley gets to the good part of the Toni Morrison article in Poets and Writers and I am still spellbound by the NPR readings.
  • And I know this is not literary, but I cannot resist kids in costumes.
  • Free Range Kids: a publisher paid big money for a book about letting your kids run free. (I can't help but think there is a race/class dynamic at play here.)
  • Last month, everyone was wondering can women writers be funny. This month the question is can women writers be scary?
  • I don't know the significance of this, but apparently, people twitter about books a lot around midnight.
