Wendy on the Web: Best books of 2014

http://wendyontheweb.blogspot.com/2014/12/best-books-of-2014.html

Monday, December 15, 2014. Best books of 2014. This year, my reading has been reactionary. That’s because, for the amazing Odyssey committee,. I’ve been listening to SO much children’s and YA lit. While I’ve never before been so on top of the young people’s scene, it also makes me want to read some more grown-up stuff. So I’ll start with a sprinkling of young adult titles before I move on to what has made up most of my reading year…. My favorite young adult titles. Books as windows, ya'll. I stumbled ont...

Wendy on the Web: April 2015

http://wendyontheweb.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 14, 2015. In my last activity as Alabama Library Association president, I spent the bulk of last week in conference mode. I had an incredible bay view from my quarters. My welcome note from the program:. Preconference tour of the bay front with local historian John Sledge. I picked a downright amazing convention committee chair who made the four days in Point Clear edifying and fun for everyone with a really adorable and apt superhero theme, which I wrote about here. Best theme tie-in goes...

Wendy on the Web: Let's Get Real, Your Little Free Library is Just a Shelf of Books You Don't Want Anymore

http://wendyontheweb.blogspot.com/2015/07/lets-get-real-your-little-free-library.html

Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Let's Get Real, Your Little Free Library is Just a Shelf of Books You Don't Want Anymore. In Nebraska. people claim that the books in those twee Little Free Libraries in front of their houses have been taken. More precisely, too many books were taken! Which suggests a basic lack of understand of reading behavior. But I'm not surprised, because the LFL crowd doesn't get collections, either. I've looked in the LFLs that abound around my area. Free community newspapers. So it's...

Wendy on the Web: Find out who you are and do it on purpose

http://wendyontheweb.blogspot.com/2015/07/find-out-who-you-are-and-do-it-on.html

Monday, July 27, 2015. Find out who you are and do it on purpose. I just finished a book so good and so resonant I didn't want it to end: Dumplin'. By Julie Murphy. Willowdean Dickson is a heroine for the ages. I know this will be a go-to recommendation and a regular re-read when I need a boost. In fact, I'm sure I'll revisit the painfully small Adobe Digital Edition text well before the pub date. Coming on the heels of reading Adam Silvera's showstopper More Happy Than Not. May 5, 2016 at 6:13 AM. This ...

Wendy on the Web: January 2015

http://wendyontheweb.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 23, 2015. I am nothing short of terrified about the weather. But, after one more "listening weekend," I'm off to ALA's Midwinter Meeting. I have a lot of anxiety about being away from the library with so many things going on there. I decided I just couldn't swing ALISE, a bit ironically since I had University funding for that one. As it is, I have six very busy days ahead, for the USBBY program. Last Midwinter, Angie Manfredi. Links to this post. Tuesday, January 13, 2015. We were in a bo...

Wendy on the Web: August 2015

http://wendyontheweb.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 27, 2015. I really didn’t want to read Go Set a Watchman. I was in shock, at ALA Midwinter, when it’s discovery was announced. I, like so many Alabamians, was so suspicious. To Kill a Mockingbird is such a part of our culture. What were they doing to Harper Lee’s legacy? But it wasn’t just OUR story. In Massachusetts, I saw readers clutching their copies the day it came out in July. Will we ever really know the true story behind the discovery? Is it a draft? Is it a sequel? But when SLJ ...

Wendy on the Web: Writing inspiration

http://wendyontheweb.blogspot.com/p/writing-inspiration.html

When still a child, make sure you read a lot of books. Spend more time doing this than anything else. When an adult, try to read your own work as a stranger would read it, or even better, as an enemy would. Don’t romanticise your ‘vocation’. You can either write good sentences or you can’t. There is no ‘writer’s lifestyle’. All that matters is what you leave on the page. Leave a decent space of time between writing something and editing it. Work on a computer that is disconnected from the ­internet.

Wendy on the Web: College, sorta redux

http://wendyontheweb.blogspot.com/2014/07/college-sorta-redux.html

Tuesday, July 22, 2014. College, sorta redux. I'm spending a week in Amherst, "where "only the 'h' is silent," at the NEH's Emily Dickinson summer camp. And it is bringing back a tidal wave of memories. It was 23 years ago this summer I landed on another rural New England campus for freshman year. I haven't spent time in this part of the world in the summer for a while, but it seems remarkably unchanged. Some things I'd forgotten:. Food SO bland, you have to add pepper bite per bite. To send me books.
