Always good on a rainy fall day, in the midst of grading (midterms ack), to remember why I love what I do.

I got copies of some of my books for next term. How great is it that in one class (a graduate course on critical literacies), I get to teach these two books (and four more of course) (these are just the two that have come in so far):

Traces of a Stream: Literacy and Social Change Among African American Women by Jacqueline Jones Royster, and Convergence Culture by Henry Jenkins?

*pets shiny new books and croons happily* (and they send them to me *free* when I assign them for class!)

Books I have read...of course as an English major I might be held to have an advantage...oh, well.  Interesting blend of popular and canon, books I've read in bold...
