What's the best photo you took this year?  Show and tell!

It's actually between 2 or 3, all for different reasons.

1)  Because it's tough to get a decent shot of yourself at this angle.  

2) She's lit so well and has such a smirk on her face.
3) Because her expression says "Please adopt me and love me."

What's the best book you read this year?

Hmmm.  Interesting question. 

The best new fiction book I've read this year is probably Water for Elephants.  Though I haven't finished it yet - It was due back before I could finish it and haven't gotten back to it.

The best new non-fiction book I've read is probably The American Plague, which talks about how yellow fever affected and changed the US after the Civil War. 

The best book I've read this year though?  I have no idea.  To be honest, until I see a book's cover or start to read it again, I have difficulty remembering what I've read. I read a lot, but unless someone reminds me of the plot, I couldn't tell you if I've read most books just by telling me the title. The 2 that I mention above I've read in the last 3 months, which is why I remember them.  I know, you're going to say, "But t.  You're a librarian, how can you not remember, or if you know you can't remember, why don't you write them down?"  Well, that would be way too easy.  I have tools at my disposal to help people find what they like to read.

Ah well, I did reread Outlander by Diana Galbaldon, whatever Harry Potter came out this year (hated it), a couple Cormac McCarthy novels (eh), several non-fictions (the most recent of which is Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters which is pretty interesting), a couple Carl Hiaasens (always good brain candy), reread Neuromancer.  Other than that, I have no idea.  Bad t.
