The server that hosts the show is going down for routine maintenance which will (I hope) speed up the loading of the show. Look for the next chapters of Persuasion to appear this weekend.
Today we start Persuasion! (Let the rejoicing begin!)
Our Librivox version is read by (the really quite excellent) Karen Savage.
Chapters 1-3 and not much else except…we say a hearty “WHOOT!” to Rachael Herron (you probably know her as Yarn-a-go-go) on the eve of her very first book release! Very exciting stuff. You can pick it up at your local bookstore, Target, and the ubiquitous online book venues. And if you’re looking to expand your crafty blog horizon, may I recommend two of Rachael’s other venues? Pens Fatales and Romancing the Yarn. Here’s a link to an excerpt from How to Knit a Love Song, Rachel’s new book–the first in a series.
Oh, and most importantly: Librivox needs our help. Even if you can’t donate, please put a link back to their page on your blogs. They do so much for us.

End of Book! Yowsa!
Yes, the end of Flatland.
End of my romance with math…or my infatuation that turns out to be completely misleading like how that guy was who I dated while I was teaching at the reading school who… um…TMI? Infatuation? Maybe. Because I fooled myself into thinking I could balance my checkbook if I understood Flatland. There is no Transitive Property in my life.
The Lightning Thief (by Rick Riordan)! Read the book…not so much the movie thing…
And that’s about it! Have a great time until I get back with Persuasion (thanks Meg!).
