I guess it's a thing though. The free comics are specifically printed for the day, country wide (I'm not sure if it's world wide). People come early to get as many as they can--we weren't aiming for that and went at mid-day ourselves. There was one person in costume, but evidently some stores go all out. We didn't get there in time for the cake cutting (and eating). My daughter was disappointed. I didn't even know they would have cake . . .<br /><br />Thank you for visiting, Laura!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-21734276656088535412017-05-22T10:43:16.988-07:002017-05-22T10:43:16.988-07:00Sarah - Thank you for voting, Sarah!

I am beyond trying to catch up at this point, I'm afraid. :-(<br /><br />I've been so happy with the My Lit Box subscription. It's worth every penny, I think. My problem though is keeping up with the books! I'm just not able to do it. I do want to read them all though, so at least there is that. :-)<br /><br />The special dinner for Teacher's Appreciation week at your school sounded lovely, Maria. I do think teaching is a superpower, myself. :-)<br /><br />Missing the hike means finding a way to earn that particular journey on our own, but I think it was for the best. She's going to miss another meeting tonight, I'm afraid. This time because of illness. <br /><br />Thank you! I love that we were able to move into a house where my books would fit. :-) Of course, this after giving up so many of them as it was. Still, I try to make sure books are going out if they are coming in. Except for the very obvious loop hole. E-books. I started reading more on my e-reader about the time we had to move and so have amassed an extensive invisible library now too. <br /><br />I was interested in journalism for a time too. And so I tend to find myself drawn to books featuring journalists. I am well into Radio Girls at the moment and am enjoying it. I do want to read White Collar Girl as well, of course. It sounds like another really good one. <br /><br />I hope you are well, Maria!

I really like that journal! I think your idea of using it for blog post ideas is quite original! GO FOR IT!!<br /><br />You know, "Teacher Appreciation Week" is also celebrated at my school. Since we have adult students, though, things are a bit different. Individual teachers don't get honored by their own class groups. In fact, this special week was not mentioned at all on the school's PA system. (Remember, I work part-time, in the evenings.) I don't know how things went for day school teachers, but I do think the day school system gives this week more "publicity". However, the night school principal did hold a special dinner last Thursday, in the school library. The librarian and her assistants decorated the place with a Hawaiian theme. She herself also welcomed the teachers and office staff at the door. She said "Aloha!" to each person, and then put a lei over each person's neck. Each lei had a small sign attached that read: "I'm a teacher. What's your superpower?" I thought that was really cute! <br /><br />The family comic book purchases look GREAT! Gosh, it's been ages since I read a comic book.... That was certainly a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon, especially if there was rain on the horizon. You guys did the right thing, not taking the risk of getting drenched on the hike! Plus, of course, the trail would have gotten muddy. Yep, the comic book store was a GREAT substitute!<br /><br />You certainly are more organized than me, regarding your bookshelves! Heck, I'm not organized at all, lol. I do admire you organized folks, though. I sometimes can't even find a particular book I'm looking for! <br /><br />LOVE the pics of all of your shelves! You guys are SO lucky, having an entire house to spread your books around.... Can you see how green my face is right now? :)<br /><br />I picked "White Collar Girl" for your poll. I actually thought of getting a Journalism major in college at one time, so the plot definitely sounds very interesting. Plus, the cover is pretty. I was torn though, between this book and "Radio Girls". I like that cover a lot, too. It has a very prominent Art Deco influence. And I like the plots of both books! So I wouldn't be unhappy if "Radio Girls" won the poll! Lol.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing all of your news, on and off the blog!! Hope you and your family have a WONDERFUL week ahead!! Thanks as well for the lovely comment on my own BBH post!! HUGS TO YOU & MOUSE!!! <3 <3 :) :) <br />Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-39964338459644861312017-05-07T13:36:43.886-07:002017-05-07T13:36:43.886-07:00Lynn - Thank you!
