Bookish (and not so bookish) Thoughts is a weekly meme hosted by Christine at Bookishly Boisterous that works well for my scattered mind.
- I’m currently on my way to Columbus, Ohio, for the first of three weddings in six weeks. A busy summer, but at least this is the only one that involves 18 hours of driving.
- Also happening right now is ThrillerFest! In case you missed it, yesterday I posted my review of ITW’s FaceOff, and before that I shared my hypothetical ThrillerFest itinerary.
- Yesterday was a busy day, as I also had a guest post on Tif Talks Books as part of her Moving Books(es) series!
- So, remember a couple weeks ago when I was recommending marking your old posts when you tweet them? Yeah, I totally forgot to do that on Monday. In my defense, I’m doing them manually, I can’t just adjust a setting on an add-on. But, my apologies to the two people who clicked on it thinking it was new content before I realized and deleted the tweet.
- I don’t remember where I heard of this website, but tothebestof.com is my new favorite thing. Obviously it’s not perfect since the “best of” is entirely based on the numbers, so a lot of great stuff is going to fall through the cracks… but really, unless it’s one single person’s opinion, how else are you going to do it?
Share some of your randomness this week!
Cheap Thrills 
Have fun at the wedding! You’re only 2 hours from me in Columbus!
It was a good weekend, but it’s good to be home.
That best of website is pretty cool!
Right? I’ve been using it so much lately.
Oo, I love To the Best Of! I had never seen it before, but I tried it for a few bands (some I know, some I don’t know) and it seems like a great thing! Thanks for sharing it. :)
I’m totally hooked on it. It’s great to discover new music, or just as a quick and easy playlist for your favorites.
18 hour car ride, huh? Listening to any good audiobooks?? :)
I’ve never been able to get into audiobooks. Lots of good music, though.
That’s a lot of weddings in a short period of time! And thanks for the heads up on The Best Of. I just entered in a couple of bands with LARGE music logs and you’re right that a ton of great stuff falls through the cracks. Maybe good for newer bands that don’t have quite the history. Still fun to play with!
Yup, and we’re both standing up in the third of the three. So yeah, very busy summer. As for the music site, you can bump it up to a Top 20, but even that barely scratches the surface of some bands that have been around for ever.
I’m traveling for a wedding as well. Safe travels and have fun :)
It was last weekend… but we’ve got another three weeks after that… and then another three weeks after that. *frazzled*
Thanks again for taking over my blog for the day while I was in the midst of moving. Of course, I am just now getting caught up on all my blog reading … as you get a large number of comments from me. Sorry about that!
They’re always appreciated!
