My favorite book reviewer: Nancy Pearl is well worth noting. She does book reviews on NPR several times a month, has her own book review website, and in the past several years has written two great books, Book Lust, and Book Lust II. I highly encourage you to get acquainted with her. She is a salt-of-the earth type reviewer who tells it like it is and has a long career as master librarian and reviewer.

It is totally frustrating, I've rotated these 3 times before setting them into my posting, but here they are sideways again with no way to edit them.

Some of my favorite photos from last week and this.
In Picasa, in the photo tray, all these photos were viewable vertically. Interesting, huh. There is nothing in the editing of this post that provides for counterclockwising the photos. If I am mistaken, I'd love for someone to waken me!
