1. The Library just needs to subscribe to John Scalzi’s blog and buy everything he features there, because I was all “Oh, I’m going to reserve this before I tell anyone about it!” and the NPL doesn’t have it. Grr. But come on! Menopausal werewolf women? I want to read this yesterday!
2. A school over in Charlotte is infested with bats, who bit a teacher, who is now, weirdly, sparkling. Please note the lengths to which they go to keep from having to say “poop, bat poop.”
3. Oxford University is going Yeti hunting.
4. “The werefox interpretation of the ballad is not traditional.”
5. It’s hard for me to express how much I love my birthday present. Every time I look at them, I smile. I was thinking that, if I ever do sell the Sue Allen thing, I am going to celebrate by commissioning the Bell Witch in her hare-headed dog aspect, the Wampus Cat, and The Thing. How awesome would that be?
Tiny Cat Pants 
I love these!
Do you use the Inter-library Loan system? It can take a while but they can usually get anything you request–at no extra charge.
btw Happy Birthday!
You can only interlibrary loan things that are over six months old, sadly.
And thanks!
