\"Thinking<\/a>…Twice, in fact, over the past two weeks. First by Fuse #8<\/a><\/strong>, as a “Thinking Blog.”<\/a><\/strong> And then by Lindsey at Zee Says<\/a><\/strong> to list 5 non-bookish blogs that we read<\/a><\/strong>. So we’re multi-tasking by responding to both memes in one post.<\/p>\n

First, the Thinking Blog meme. We’re flattered. And a little baffled. We mean, yeah, we’ve got advanced degrees and stuff, but we also say “dude” a lot. It’s actually pretty funny, if you look at the reviews we were cranking out when we first started this blog back in August<\/a><\/strong>. They’re all “blah blah protagonist’s motivation blah alliteration blah blah synecdoche yadda yadda pathetic fallacy blah.” We were trying so hard to be, you know, professional and stuff. Now we tend to trade knock-knock jokes<\/a><\/strong> back and forth, and ask people what their favorite curse word<\/a><\/strong> is. And yet we got tagged, by one of the smartest blogs in the kidlitosphere. Go fig. Maybe it’s just a ploy by the intrepid Ms. Fuse to get Eisha’s boots<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0(Yeah, that’s right, I’m on to you, Bird…)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Right, so, anyway… In return, we’d like to tag a few more Thinking Blogs we dig: Chicken Spaghetti<\/a><\/strong>, Propernoun.net<\/a><\/strong>, the Excelsior File<\/a><\/strong>, the NCBLA blog<\/a><\/strong>, and Journey Woman<\/a><\/strong>. Thanks, all, for providing smart, interesting content and unique perspectives on literature and other issues we care about.<\/p>\n

Second: the Non-Lit-Blogs meme. We’re pretty heavy on the lit-related blogs, but between us we were able to come up with some that aren’t all about books. <\/p>\n
