Huh! Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. In spite of the sheer swaths of time I’ve had since I completed my last Fusenews, I am surprisingly bereft of information for you this week. Whodathunkit? Ah well.

All right bloggy woggers. Woggy bloggers. Froggy woggy moggy snoggers. I’m having a silly day, it seems. In any case, the time has come once again for folks to apply to be Cybils judges. Basically if you have a blog about children’s or YA books and you’d like to be on a judging panel for […]

Not sure how long I’ll get to keep calling my little news items “Fusenews” since the Fuse network, hitherto not a problem in my sphere, has just decided to call their news program, you guessed it, Fuse News. But really, who am I to complain? It’s a kicky little term. So! The 2012 Cybils Awards […]

The last time I did a Fusenews was more than a week ago. As such my links all seem a bit out of date. Ah well. Let’s have fun with a partially abbreviated Fusenews today then. However, to begin . . . Sometimes it feels like we always lose some of the best ones at […]

All right. Test Subject A is still sleeping through the night but due to events beyond our control she has decided to go to bed two hours later than usual. So it is 10:00 p.m. and I’m only just starting my blogging on this post. And a Fusenews night at that? Better slip on my […]

Lotso hotso news today, folks. I hardly know where to begin. Let’s start with the big news that the illustrious editor Margaret K. McElderry passed away recently. I had mentioned The McElderry Book of Greek Myths in my Valentine’s Day post earlier this week. Maybe she was on my mind. In any case, there’s a […]

Recently a fellow co-worker at NYPL, a Mr. Jonathan Pace, decided to write a piece for NYPL’s Huffington blog called Returning to Busytown: Remembering Richard Scarry.

In this modern day and age a gal has to have a couple of jobs to keep her head above water. With that in mind, I’ve found that two of my primary sources of income have in and of themselves, and of their own volition, hired new bosses. At New York Public Library we welcome […]
