FRIENDING MEME
Make some great new friends with the friending meme over at silkmermaids!

Welcome to my new friends thekaiserchief, touchofgr3y, profiterole, and jediknightmuse!

I don't know why but I am EXHAUSTED today. On the desk until 7pm and it's relatively busy so far so it's keeping me awake. Murk got the science fair project question, thank goodness! I've had a few RA questions.

A Children's Lit student just asked me what "Modern Fantasy" was and I thought it just meant new fantasy books set in modern times but then she said her teacher used "The Little Mermaid" as an example and I don't really think of Hans Christian Anderson as "modern" anything. Of course, I had to Google it and I found this information on the University of Wisconsin website which pretty much says "modern fantasy" just means fantasy stories that we know the actual author of. So I think the books I ended up giving her were okay...though she did take a King Arthur story, do we know who wrote that? probably not.

Plus if the book is a doorstop, it's probably high fantasy.
...that makes so much sense; I can't believe I didn't think of that before, haha. XD
