I officially signed up to participate in "23 Things". I want to be an Awesome 2.0 Librarian so I am learning everything I need to know about the web 2.0 world. Thing 1 was to create a blog. Thing 2 was to explore other blogs and post a comment on them. I did that a few days ago. I posted a comment at BookMates, a project of two Seattle-based readers, because it seemed similar to this blog in that it was about selecting and recommending books. I also commented on 23 Things: The Way Forward by an Irish blogger interested in professional development.
Today I explored one more blog and the blogger was based in London and in fact used to be in New York. This blogger has educated me a little about librarianship in the UK. Chartership is a professional qualification earned by practicing librarians in the UK. Reflective writing is a requirement of Chartership and blogging for this Librarian is one approach to meet that requirement.
I look forward to continuing with Thing 3 and of course I am going to finish reading my book, The Eye of the Crow.
This blog is for book lovers. Initially this blog focused on the books selected by members of the Okefenokee Book Club who used to meet in Waycross, Georgia. Now, it is about my reading interests. I will also continue to post any interesting information related to writers, libraries, and book clubs in general.

Thing 3 is about creating a personal brand. According to the ALA site http://bit.ly/lPLlq0 a personal brand is about how I want to be perceived. The name of this blog is the name of my book club in Waycross. The photograph is of a lake in Waycross. i want to keep the blog identity separate from my personal identity. I like to change the colors of the blog from time to time.
