Happy January, my fellow bookworms!
I hope you all had a happy holiday season. Am I the only one who is happy to finally see pink and red colors in the stores? While I do miss the colors of the holiday lights on neighbors' homes, I am happy the stress of the season is finally over.
I have some book links for you:
- Ever wonder what time it is and want a book quote at the same time? No? Well, there is a fun literature clock made by Johs Enevoldsen, inspired by Jaap Meijers and The Guardian. This clock is an online website that tells you the time in quotes! Check it out for yourself - it changes based on the time, so you could go a whole day and see new quotes!
- Since I am learning about archives, here is a link to a musical archive "time traveling" website called Radiooooo (2013), where you can choose a country, year, and song pace (slow, fast, "weird," or a combination of the three) to match a song to your preference.
- If you live in the United States, you will notice a set of new quarters on the market. Twenty new designs will be issued over the next four years, featuring notable women in the United States, such as Maya Angelou (the first new quarter) and Wilma Mankiller, the first female Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. Check out more details and specifications, if you are into collecting coins, on the United States Mint website here.
- February 1st is the lunar new year. It is also the year of the tiger! If you want to read books to celebrate the new year, Penguin House Publishers has a list of some fun reads here.
- The American Library Association has released their Youth Media Awards for 2022. Check out their list here and let me know if you have read any of the winners (book or author)!
- Check out this cute article from KTVB7, a news station in Idaho, who mentions an 8 year old Boise resident who snuck a book onto his library's shelf, and now it is available officially for check out!
- Have you played the latest word game, Wordle? Try and figure out the word in 6 tries or less, by guessing words and rearranging letters as necessary. I have been able to guess the word in about 4 to 5 tries. What is your best score? Let me know in the comments!
