Tech Tips: Book Art


Need a headline for a flyer? Looking for Friday fun? Amaztype is a fun service from Amazon that lets you search for a word in the title or author's name of books, music, or videos. Amaztype then spells out the name in books.

I think this could be fun for headlines on websites, flyers, etc. I'm not sure how well these images would print out, but there may be a way to use this for displays of themes or particular authors.

Reading: Book-a-Month Challenge

Well, I decided I needed a challenge for the new year, so here we go.

Book-a-Month Challenge

A new theme is posted each month, and participants choose a book related to the theme. Ideally (and this is the most challenging part for me), we read the book and post a review on our website or blog. So, while I don't consider myself much of a review writer, I'll do my best to keep up and post reviews here over the next year.

Anyone else up for the challenge? I'd be happy to have a friend to keep me accountable.
