1) Cheer. Now you don’t have to explain for the umpteenth time what a blog is: tell the lazy clueless sods to go look it up.

2) Thank Galleycat for watching Book Bites so that you don’t have to.

3) Take the Observer year-end book quiz instead of wasting your time with these. My favourite: Which Booker-prize shortlisted author has a tattoo? (What, they stripped for the Observer journo so that he could check?)
