• I wrote a guest post for
GLBT Reading this week. It was super fun and
Amanda was great to work with. I am very tempted to join the challenge now. Yet another reward for finishing school? I wrote
Free to a Good Home: Slash Goggles and there are other great posts and lots of recommendations, since this is YA month. There are no recommendations for books in my post, it is all navel-gazing. What else is new?

owlmoose Video games as art: A round-up: a really interesting breakdown of the current (and past) debate about video games as art. Roger Ebert fanned the flames once more; I am really suspicious of his motives. In anyone else I would suspect douchebaggery, but this is
Ebert, one of the most intelligent cultural critics writing today, so I am skeptical of the fact that he just happened to revisit this topic. I have been waiting for a Jay Smooth video take down (pined for it, actually), but KJ's collection of links and commentary is just as great.

Color Online:
Would We Forget?: My commentary would not be near as powerful as I found this quote to be:
Publishers Weekly's Top Ten of 2009, did not include any female authors. Here is PW's 100 Best Books of 2009 I only see two women of color authors on the list. The LA Times favorite fiction of 2009. This time there one woman of color author. NPR's Best Books of 2009. Someone please correct me if I am wrong but I only see four authors of color. NPR's best of list are complied by different people and broken up into categories. I find it ironic that no women of color authors made the Under -The Radar List.
• I found a list of
Top 100 YA books, voted on by visitors. I think it's very interesting, although I am tired of these lists that count "series" as a book. Pick a book!
• Via,
Angieville,
look how many covers Sunshine has! They're all beautiful, but my favorite is still the US paperback.

What Books Do You Wish Everyone Would Read?, hosted by
Amy. Why are surveys like that SO HARD? Looking over it made me realize I am an SF/F girl and will be, forever and ever.

Interview with John Green and David Levithan on the release of
Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I have read this book and am co-reviewing it with
Nymeth as a reward for finishing school (a week and a half!). :D
Now, back to the final paper grindstone. >.>
