An Open Letter to President Elect Obama

Dear President Elect Obama,

Please put your presidential library in Hawaii.

Best,

Elisabeth

Current Project

I've started (restarted) a blog on Tumblr on presidential trivia. If you read it, let me know if there are ever factual errors, as I have made some before. I will be blogging back here in a little while.

Books Read in 2008

I decided to make this a post to keep clutter off the side bar. My favorites are in bold. (Hopefully this will be the first and last list I post.) Since the last four books added were for school, if anyone has any book recommendations, I would love to know them. I've decided I won't read the Twilight series, despite the offer of free books from my mom and sister. Although I do think the author should make a children's version of the series called Twilights for Kids.
