Friday Finds

Since Friday is generally a slow blogging day for me I've decided to participate in a new (to me) meme,  hosted by Should be Reading, in which I'll tell you about some of the new books that I've discovered during the past week. And although this isn't part of the regular meme I'm also going to include fun links that I've come across during the week and want to share with you.
