Rosalind's Pick: Vintage Veronica

I just learned that Rosalind Wiseman made Vintage Veronica her "pick" and gave a glowing review on her site. Check it out here.  Rosalind is a YA author in her own right, but is perhaps best known as the author of the nonfiction book, Queen Bees and Wannabe's (aka the book that inspired Tina Fey's movie Mean Girls).  I am totally honored by this endorsement, and thrilled that Rosalind's recommendation might get Veronica into the hands of more teens, librarians, teachers and parents!  

In her review, Rosalind says:  "I’d recommend this novel for any girl who’s ever felt out of place because of her quirky interests, anyone who’s ever felt the need to hide from the world, and, of course, for any vintage fashion lovers.  It is a flawless and fun summer read."

Well, that sure made my week!  Quite possibly my month.

Back at work

Now that BEA is over, I will go back to work tomorrow, but my pal Chicken Butt! was hard at work today, reviewing Henry Cole's fabulous sketches for... Chicken Butt's Back!

I Walked My Butt Off at BEA

Literally! And now my butt (Chicken Butt! The doll, that is) are in a cab leaving the show. Great fun seeing everyone! Can't wait for ALA!

BEA y...a...y!

I am at BEA and I am like a kid in a candy shop. And it hasn't even really opened yet (nose up to glass). #bea10

Punctuation Patrol

According to my daughter, this sign says that at this restaurant you can eat dinner with no shoes or shirt on and bring your pet, too... if you want.
