March Wrap-Up: Commenters and Search Terms

TONS of comments this month, largely related to the Book Blog Search. While I appreciate each and every one of you – especially those of you who sent me lists of sites to include, and especially especially Amy, who sent me the URLs from everyone in the BBAW directory – I particularly wanted to thank those of you who stuck around and commented on some of my other posts in March!

Search Terms

Not a whole lot of fun ones this month, although maybe I’m just getting swamped with so many ordinary ones that the fun ones are harder to pick out. Also, just for the record: No, I will not write your book report on Crispin: The Cross of Lead for you, nor will I find you pictures that exemplify the theme of Stargirl. Do your own damn homework! (Seriously, either these are really wide-spread curriculum items, or there’s just one teacher assigning them to a class of terminally lazy students – it seems like I get at least one search for these PER DAY.)

amber spyglass made me cry
Me too. Like a little baby. Although not quite so badly on a re-read.

should i give inkdeath a chance even if
…you didn’t particularly love Inkheart? Yes. …you didn’t particularly care for Inkspell either? Probably not.

didn’t like the tea rose
Sorry about that – I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable. Same goes for its sequel, The Winter Rose.

bill bryson i vs you
Looks like someone’s spoiling for a rumble. Bring it on, Bill!

bonk hooters masters
I know there is a perfectly good explanation for at least two of the words in this search phrase… Bonk is a book by Mary Roach, and William Masters was a famous sex researcher who features prominently in that book. If I read the search phrase as a sentence, though, I get the giggles. Because I am apparently thirteen.

gregory frost book sex
Same here. I know what they’re asking, and the answer is that in the two of Gregory Frost’s novels that I’ve listened to, while sex was talked about, and inferred to be happening off-screen, there weren’t really any sex scenes per se. But taking the search phrase out of context just sounds like a man who loves his books a little too much.

Bah. Come on, crazy April searchers! I know you’re out there!
