Fun Facts from the End of the ’08 School Year

  1. The first edition hardcover of Battle of the Labyrinth is printed in 13-point Centaur MT font.
    Centaur. That’s funny.
  2. As of Friday we had the lowest price in the world (yeah, Phoenix Book Company!) for The Host.
  3. Small Steps by Peg Kehret (not the Holes sequel) is a great story for people who like real-life drama and people overcoming obstacles. The craziest part? It’s the author’s true life biography.
  4. Diary of a Wimpy Kid is taken from funbrain.com and it reads like a web journal/comic. That’s probably one reason why I like it  so much. The other is because I usually don’t laugh out loud when reading.
  5. Did you know that you can put books on your phone? Now when I wait in line or if I’m tempted to be bored, I use these programs to read full books that have digital bookmarks to them. They’re all free (and legal through Creative Commons).
