A Few Things

• I have been doing some thinking about my blog. I started it for a couple of reasons, the biggest being that I just wanted to discuss books I was enjoying. I knew I also wanted to include good dog books, and so I started Paisley's Pick. I also knew I wanted it to be a kind of "one-stop shopping place" in that maybe you find something for yourself to read, and then the next time you find something for your child. Beyond that, I didn't really have a plan. I've got a couple of more ideas for features, so watch for come new things in the coming week or so. I would love to be that blogger that lets you know you can find adult titles on a certain day, picture books on another, but...I'm not that organized yet. But - good things (I think) to come.
• Check out this video about books being organized on shelves. It's more fascinating than it sounds! Link via the Swap-bot blog.
• I've been meaning to share this website, which is part of the Morton Grove Public Library's website. It is a great resource when you're looking for something new to read. It has lists arranged by books with a particular type of character, or a particular setting or subject, books geared toward a certain audience, etc. It also has lots of lists for author read-alikes, in that if you like this author, you'll probably like these authors as well. It is often one of my go-to sites when recommending books.
