Fusenews: Nonews, swenon
Yesterday I spent the day eating off the generous dole of others and searching for an appropriate party location for my upcoming 30th birthday. As such, my blogging had to take a backseat in light of the impending death of my youth (eleven days and counting . . . . tick, tick, tick, tick). These things happen. I have discovered the perfect birthday gift too! Look at what Andrea and Mark of Just One More Book received recently thanks to the largesse of one Hot Man of Children’s Literature #33. Lucky, clever, highly-talented duo. Now to figure out how to coerce my husband into getting me one of my own. Poor husband of mine.

Happy 30th Betsy!
I do hope your husband comes through for you — with a series like HMOC, he’s likely relieved you’re only requesting a sketch…
Thanks for your very kind words about JOMB,
Andrea
30 is awesome! It’s 31 (which I got to last month) which is hard to stomach, for some reason…
