Mmm. Nothing like a warm cup of Harper Collins Previews to start you off on your day. I always like to begin a blog post by pointing out my own ignorance/insufficiencies/what have you. It shows that I grow. Or maybe mocking yourself is just an easy way to begin any article. Whatever the case, until […]
Well Table #3 hadn’t quite gotten into the swing of it yet, so we didn’t get to everything. Some of the things we did see were beautiful and familiar though. Mary McCarthy’s A Closer Look is definitely making a play for the Steve Jenkins/An Egg Is Quiet crowd. It was fun to see the original […]
Time is up and it’s off to Table #4. In this ring, Tara Weikum and Farrin Jacobs. We see the brand new Meg Cabot manga title Avalon High Coronation #1: The Merlin Prophecy. Doesn’t sound very Cabot, does it? My notes taken during the talk about this book appear to be the word, "Hoodehoo". Quite. […]
Okay. We’re in the flow by now. We know the deal. So we’re at Table #5 with (I believe) Phoebe Yeh. And Phoebe is handing us… Oh my. Remember when the blogosphere went into a small tizzy over the idea of the Jenna Bush young adult novel? Remember how we decided we’d sit back, actually […]
And we’re at … oooh. We’re at the Joanna Cotler/Laura Geringer table. That’s super cool. Big names sitting here. They were smart pookies too. Got me to really want to read Fiona Loves the Night by Patricia MacLachlan and Emily MacLachlan Charest with illustrations by Amada Shephard. It’s a rather beautiful book with a vague […]
Whoops! My mistake. Thought today was Thursday, or some such nonsense. Here’s your weekly dosage of poetry from my parental unit then. To a Picky Eater at Love’s Table This isn’t the love you sent back to the kitchen, the one you now remember as seasoned exactly to your taste, which you now admit you […]
Yawn. Mm. So I’ve been bad. I owe you guys at least another book review and a gigantic recap of last week‘s Harper Collins preview of upcoming titles. But I had this crazy move, couldn’t figure out how to post pictures (still tweaking that one, actually) and on top of all that I’m doing some […]
You know you’re old when the newest American Girl living in the dire and distant past turns out to be discovering the historical marvels of … the 70s. Shoot, dude. I kinda remember the 70s. Which is to say, my two-year-old brain can vaguely conjure up shades of orange and brown. That’s pretty accurate, right? […]
Colleen Mondor has the full schedule up of authors and participants engaging in the SBBT thingy thing next week. The post is entirely linked AND the clever girl even made sure that my interviews would go to my new site rather than the old. If you’re interested my schedule looks like this: Tuesday, June 19th […]
I don’t know what to say! This is all so unexpected. To be nominated in spite of the fact that I moved and things are still getting patched up … well, I’m just stunned. >music begins softly< No! No, wait! I want to thank my husband and my parents and my readers. I want to […]
