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 […]

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 […]
Happy happy joy joy! A couple lovely readers out there might have discovered Shelley Pearsall’s remarkable All of the Above last year. It fell into the category of Fun Titles With Covers They Don’t Deserve. Still don’t remember it? Here’s a peek at what it used to look like. And here is what it looks […]
Does that term mean anything to you at all? Well it should. The great and wonderful Colleen Mondor (who doesn’t get nearly enough air-time on this blog simply because she works primarily in the world of YA) has organized a Blog Blast Tour of heretofore unbelievable depth and intelligence. Starting next Sunday, with an interview […]
I feel bad reporting on this because there were two book release parties I wanted to go to last week and I could only attend just one. The one I didn’t attend was Meghan McCarthy’s release for her magnificent Strong Man. It came on the same day as my husband’s birthday party and we danced […]
