Weekend Links (and staying warm!)


 I hope you all have plenty of great books on your TBR piles for the cold weather weekend!  I am playing to cook some chili in the crockpot and settle in for some writing/research, and watch some more of the excellent "Bookish" on PBS.  In the meantime, here are a few distractions for you...
