Book Baton
A book baton, another from the series of this years’ run-around-the-blogosphere marathons, has been passed to me by my fellow blogger Cody Lindley. I found this one interesting, because I swallowed quite a few books lately, some of them web design/development related.
Not being a fan of novels, fiction and such, although I used to write all kinds of prose in a high-school (even being awarded, but that’s another story), the book has to be about my hobbies or work to make me want to read it.
