Do we need a new challenge? There’s Memoir Mondays,  Slice of Life Tuesdays, Boil Down Your Week for Sundays.

So why not?

I would love to begin something fresh, something that involves images and text. I have a new blog for that  but I’d love to share this passion with an online community.

I wonder, anyone out there reading this and interested?

How about PHOTO FRIDAYS, an image and some text????

Your are invited.

I am halfway through my morning routine. The Today Show is on as background music, I’m drinking a cup of coffee, and I have written into the morning on my word count journal.

I move to my bloglines and as usual Kevin has already posted something on his blog. I open it and there’s an entry about The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick. a book he recommended to me last spring. He was passionate about it and I ordered a copy from Barnes and Noble.

When it arrived, I opened it and started turning the pages and it was truly a unique adventure but somehow, in my chaos at the time, I put it down and gradually, during a spring cleaning I  moved  it to its permanent residence on the middle shelf  in my book case and it’s been living there, untouched ever since.

Just 10 minutes ago, as I began to read Kevin’s post about Hugo Cabret, and its recent award I made my way to the HC website (click below) and found it as wild and imaginative as the book.  From there I discovered  an interview on NPR with Brian Selznick(click below).

As Brian talked about his book I ran to for my copy and as he read from the text,I read along.

It’s right here now and I’m back in it, and it’s all because of Kevin’s early morning post.

Here’s a good example of what would not be right for my new Kindle reader, that’s for sure.

Hugo netted the esteemed Caldecott Medal for 2008.

Thanks Kevin. Just another reason why I’m hooked on the web 2.0!
