So! Some of you may recall a time of myth and legend when I talked about books on this journal. Some of you may not; it's been a while. *l* But it's much easier to sell a particular book to somebody if you've actually read it, so I've decided to pay closer attention to how I feel about what I'm reading.

Have you been reading or watching anything awesome lately? If so, what?

Those Swedes are pretty fucked up! In a good way! Like the Japanese!

Um... EXCELLENT!

SQUEE

Why, hello! It's lovely to hear from you on my humble journal, especially since I enjoy yours so very much. Thanks for dropping by! :D I work at an independent bookstore in Harvard Square, and while our children's section isn't exactly comprehensive, we do our best. :) I hope your publisher will consider sending you to Boston--I would dearly love to meet you some day!

I would like that very much: here's hoping! (And thank you for the kind words about both book and journal!)
