Happy Valentine's Day with O.J.!
Tuesday, February 14, 2012 at 10:49AM Who do I love? That's easy:
1. My sweet husband and kids
2. Our adorable dog Clover and lovely guinea pig Violet. Neither of whom would dream of eating things that are not food. And if you believe that, I have a pair of partially digested shoes to sell you...
3. Our family and dear friends, near and far.
4. New friends I make through my books!
Today, I want to give a shout out to two subcategories of category #4:
ALL THE KIDS WHO READ WHEN LIFE GIVE YOU O.J. AND WERE INSPIRED TO MAKE THEIR OWN "O.J."s and M.J.'s, and in honor of today, V.J.'s like this one, which is a beaut! Thanks to Kristen Kilpatrick for the submission (@kkilpatrick7):
AND I also want to give a heartfelt shout-out to teachers and librarians and bloggers and podcasters today. Librarians like Mr. Schu, book bloggers like the fabulous gals at Kidsmomo and that amazing Katie Davis, and teachers like Colby Sharp and Eric Carlson, who get so excited about books and book creators that they invite them in via video chats like this:
Which is awesome because, as Mr. Carlson notes, it makes a huge connection... which is what today's all about, right?
So, thank you guys for sharing the book love! Big Valentine's hugs from me and O.J.!
