Magazines aimed at adults have very little appeal to me. I couldn't care less about Angelina Jolie's twins or a months-old article on John McCain filled with things I already know (Yay, cable news and the 24 hour news cycle). Give me an issue of Highlights and I'm good to go, though. (Like you, I can't pass up the word search.)

I was checking out all the nominees for the Book Blogger Appreciation Awards and trying to live up to my nomination by inviting everyone over to my blog Semicolon tomorrow for the Saturday Review of Books. If you're not familiar with the Saturday Review, it's just a place that I provide each Saturday where you can link to your book reviews for the week and read those of other book bloggers. You're cordially invited to check it out tomorrow and to join in the book discussion at Semicolon anytime. Hi and congratulations!
