Opus Meets Ballycumber

Booklovers Never Go To Bed Alone

Sunday mornings are for reading the Comics and guess what, BookCrossers, we made the funny papers. Is Berkeley Breathed a BookCrosser?

Check it out. There's Opus in his bunny pajamas reading in bed. There are 6, count 'em, 6! half-read books lying somewhere on his bed. There are 3 more on the easy chair and 3 in the stack on the nightstand. Opus looks like a BookCrosser to me.

Remember the definition of our little running book guy's new name, Ballycumber? It is one of the six half-read books lying somewhere in your bed (click here if you missed the story).

Whether it is because BookCrossing just won 2 Webby awards or that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is being released in theaters, the word "ballycumber" should become a common term in our language now.

Way to go, Ballycumber!
