I've been puttering instead of posting this week, but that doesn't mean that I haven't rounded up a few links for you to take a look at!
Bookish News
- Now I've seen everything-- a bookcase bathtub!
- A video explaining why a free Internet is so important.
- A book trailer for Stephen King's Under the Dome.
- This qualifies as "bookish" since two of my favorite episodes have quite a lot to do with books: the 14 Most Twisted Original Twilight Zone Endings.
- Have you heard about Intermountain Therapy Animals? This organization brings pets, children and books together in quite a wonderful way.
- I enjoyed this article about a bookshop in Amman, Jordan.
- Kristi of The Story Siren talks about using other people's work and the fine art of linking to other blogs.
- Molly and Andy of The Bumbles Blog talk about memes.
- I'm not sure when this poll ends, but Suey of It's All About Books wants us to vote on the best phrase for books that are bathroom reading.
- Of all the recaps of last week's Read-a-thon that I read, Margot of Joyfully Retired should get the award for hers. Her entire family participated and really brought the spirit of the event to life.
- Debbie of Debbie's World of Books wants to know Tweets, Diggs, Stumbles--What Really Counts?

Thank you for the links. I loved The Power of Being Personal article. maybe because I agree with the author :)
Don't you just love the trailer for King's book?! I certainly do.
I am looking forward to check out most of the links in this week's link round up. They all sound very interesting.
Oh my.. I want that bathtub and I don't even read in the bath (too afraid I'll damage my books)!!
Nice link roundup. Here's my weekly wrap up at Sunday Salon
I like those bathtubs! Our bathroom is not large enough for any tub, though.
And I am pleased to say that the two times I have killed a blog, I seem to have done the proper thing.
Thanks Cathy for featuring our Read-A-Thon experience. We did have a super time.
And, thanks for all the other links as well. It's become a fun way to spend part of my Sunday.
That bathtub looks really cool but I would never store books in the bathroom. I love steaming hot baths and the pages always get wrinkled. Poor books!
Lilly-- I love the trailer, too. I'm glad you found some links that interested you!
Louise-- Good! :)
JoAnn-- I think I could pull it off. I can read in the pool without damaging my books. On the other hand, I don't think I want to chance it!
Harvee-- You know I had to go over there and take a look! Thanks for stopping by. :)
Dorte-- It's certainly good to hear that you followed the rules while committing murder! ;)
Margot JR-- You should've seen the smile on my face while I read your post. I'm glad you spend part of your Sunday with me. :)
Jeane-- That's what I thought when I saw it. Too much moisture in the bathroom for book storage!
You know, one day I may just replace my Reader entirely with your Weekly Link posts! This one was especially good - I think I read most every one of them with great interest. Thanks for including us again too.
I don't read in the bathtub either, but love hearing about unlikely (to me) places people read.
The Bumbles-- Thank you so much for those kind words. It really tickles me that you enjoyed this post so much. Your confessions series on your blog is excellent!
Jeanne-- Me, too!
