Quotations:
DEAR MIA,
JERRY TOLD US ALL ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR CAT. I'M SORRY FOR YOU, BUT I THINK YOU STILL SHOULD HAVE COME TO THE MEETING. I GUESS YOU REALLY LIKE CATS. I'M ALLERGIC, SO I CAN'T SAY I LIKE THEM TOO MUCH. IT WAS NICE KISSING YOU. I HOPE WE CAN DO IT AGAIN SOMETIME. WRITE SOONM, OKAY?
YOURS TRULY,
ADAM

Quotations:
Moses was about to tell her that she would never be allowed to go back and that Megan would burn in hell, but it didn't seem a very cheerful thing to say and he didn't want to annoy her again.

ZineCat Reading
I did less reading for pleasure this month than I normally might have. I was focused on my final project for Doing Things with Novels class at the CUNY Graduate Center, where I am now nine credits away from a master's degree in digital humanities. My project partner Lauren Kehoe introduces our project with this post: Doing Things with Novels: Final Project (aka Catalogers as Authors, Metadata as Annotation or how Jenna and Lauren used ZineCat to write a paper using catalog records).
