    Video Sunday: Feel Good, Inc.

    Betsy Bird, October 23, 2011 | Videos

    Halloween is on the horizon so Monica Edinger (of Educating Alice n’ such) whipped together a handy dandy little list of recommended spooky 2011 books for the season.  These videos take a bloody long time to make but dude, they are so worth it in the end. Now I should remind you that soon soon […]

    Fusenews: I figure if I write a book called “Shiny Chimes” I’ll have it made

    Betsy Bird, October 19, 2011 | Fusenews

    If I’m not too incorrect I believe that today is the last day for SLJ editor Brian Kenney before he steps off and joins the White Plains Public Library as their Director.  It was Brian who first tapped me to become an SLJ blogger, and who, in effect, “discovered” me.  He’s been a wonderful editor […]

    National Book Awards: Worth Your Weight in Tiny Food

    Betsy Bird, November 18, 2010 | Uncategorized

    Fusenews: Encyclopedia Peck

    Betsy Bird, October 18, 2010 | Fusenews

    As far as I’m concerned, every good blog post should begin with fiction starring Gregory Peck.  What we have here is one of the luscious finds boasted by Greg Hatcher over at the site Comic Book Resources.  I’m a big fan of Hatcher because when he does round ups like this one he always takes […]

    National Book Award Predictions (has it ever been done?)

    Betsy Bird, August 3, 2010 | Uncategorized

    We don’t talk enough, you and I.  About the National Book Awards, I mean.  Seems to me that the only time we pay much attention to them is when they release their shortlist, and by that point the only thing left to predict is what the ultimate winner will be.  It hasn’t quite the same […]
