In which I make others do my work for me

Have a cute: from the New York Times

Here's the deal. I'm sick. Really sick. Barely-functioning-as-a-parent sick. So that's why there was no post on Wednesday (although there was a bonus video on Tuesday!) and that's why today's post is gonna be quick. That's also why you're getting penguins. I make up for giving you short shrift by offering up some adorableness.

I'M GOING ON VACATION starting Sunday, and I'll be back after the Independence Day long weekend. (For my non-American readers, that means I'll be back July 6th.)

While I'm gone, there will be guest blogging on Monday and Wednesday of each week. So, you're getting four posts in that time instead of my usual six... but TWO of them will be giving away free books! And, I am actually friends with each of these people in real life (wild, I know) so I think they're awesome and that you're going to love what they have to say.

Please come back and check them out next week. And I'll see you again in July!
