Fusenews: A little moly with your holy, miss?
Well a tip of the hat and an apology to Mr. Schu. Looks like he in the guise of Babymouse came to visit me at The Children’s Center at 42nd Street located in the main branch of NYPL. Alas, I am no longer in that location, having been picked up and dropped off in Long [...]

The Year of Billy Miller By Kevin Henkes Greenwillow (an imprint of Harper Collins) $16.99 ISBN: 978-0-06-226812-9 Ages 6-10 On shelves September 17th I don’t readily compare books to Ramona (now THERE’S a sentence opener, ladies and gentlemen). To compare any children’s book to Beverly Cleary’s classic series just leaves one wide open to ridicule. [...]

Fusenews: You’re freaking me out, Colin!
I don’t think I’ll shock anyone out there when I reveal that I adore webcomic artist Kate Beaton’s work more than life itself. This past Christmas my husband and I exchanged identical gifts that both turned out to be Hark, A Vagrant! calendars for the coming year. The fact that I ever got a chance [...]

American Library Association Annual Conference Thoughts and Recaps: 2013 Edition (Part Two)
In which our heroine discovers the true price of donning the outwear of men and takes horrendous advantage of a blood relation Saturday morning bloomed bright and clear. The perfect weather for lugging yourself out of bed at an ungodly hour. At past ALAs I’ve eschewed publishers’ breakfasts since they have a tendency to occur [...]
Video Sunday: Proverbial cookies happen to go very well with axiomatic milk
Dwell not on the fact that you were unable to attend the Newbery/Caldecott Banquet whilst your fellows caroused to all hours of the night (or so I assume . . . I left when I felt sleepy, party animal that I am). Now you can feel like you were there in the supple flesh all [...]

American Library Association Annual Conference Thoughts and Recaps: 2013 Edition (Part One)
Howdy. Well, by this point we’ve all settled back into our daily routines just in time to take a day off for July 4th.
