Your Morning Peruse

Goooood morning, Other Readers.

Via Sweet Petinuia Blossom

Powell's Books (one of the true wonders of the modern world) staff have picked their Top 5 Readers of 2012. Can't wait to get my hands on The Woman Who Died a Lot by Jasper Fforde. Apparently one of the characters is librarian Nancy Pearl and SHE HAS AN ARMY.

It's a knitting machine! It's a rocking chair! It's both! And oddly hypnotic to watch in action.

New Horn Book stars! The Price of Freedom: How One Town Stood Up to Slavery by Judith Bloom Fradin and Dennis Brindell Frandin looks amazing.
