A Very Good Day for Books... Some of Them Mine!

DateTuesday, September 7, 2010 at 07:11PM

I just have to share the fact that I have had a long and tiring day in the world of children's books (woke up at 5 a.m. and spent the day in a warehouse with my First Book colleagues helping to ship, well, let's just say a WHOLE LOT of books).  

If that's not enough happy news for you, I also have these other fun nuggets to share:

Mockingjay and Vintage Veronica!  An excellent teen book round-up by Scripps-Howard News Service reporter Karen McPherson that recommends both Katniss Everdeen (Mockingjay) and my homegirl Veronica (Vintage Veronica) - "better together" indeed!

My blog tour sprints on with visits to Alison's Book Marks, A Patchwork of Books, Jean Little Library, Pragmatic Mom, and - today - TWO posts at Links to Literacy's Literacy Toolbox and its sister site, Picture This!

Julia Denos (Dotty's wonderful illustrator) gets the 7imp royal treatment at Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast... and Susan Kusel of Wizards Wireless suggests Dotty should be shortlisted for a you-know-what-decott (I can't even say it).

My hat designer (don't you wish you had one?) blogs about my new Dotty hat over at Ibby Skibby!

DINOSAUR?  Dotty gets mistaken for one!  But no complaints from me... let her be what you want her to be!

My Chicken Butt! doll finally arrived and he has a LOT to say.

Lois Duncan!  And, last but not at all least, today I arrived home to discover a lovely thank you note from the nice folks at Little Brown had arrived along with copies of the newly reissued Lois Duncan books, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Don't Look Behind You and Killing Mr. Griffin.  I was honored to have the chance to write a little love note to Lois Duncan for the introductory pages... and I was thrilled when Lois herself - who I have long admired for so many reasons - sent an email of thanks.  If you haven't devoured her books yet, take the opportunity to do so now that these new editions are hot off the presses.  There are so many excellent ones (I can't wait until A Gift of Magic is reissued), but these - especially Killing Mr. Griffin - are great places to start.  

I think that's it for now.  More to come soon!  Princeton Children's Book Festival this Saturday (9/11/10) from 11-4!  Stop by and say hi!
