The Tour Rolls On<\/b><\/div>\n

I get a real kick out of reading the blog blast tour posts — especially Hip Mama Writer’s interview of Cynthia Leitich Smith<\/a>, who I think is such a phenomenal person. The video interview of Dan Santat at Fuse #8<\/a> was by turns hilarious and …well, more hilarious, because two such silly people just can’t help being funny. And, there are hand puppets. Nova Ren Suma at Shelf Elf<\/a> made me excited for a book I hadn’t yet heard of, and Ann Marie Flemming at Chasing Ray was just phenomenal — <\/a> an unusual use of family history and stick figures<\/i> in memoir. Love it.<\/p>\n

Today:<\/p>\n

Sy Montgomery, Part II<\/b> @ Chasing Ray<\/a> is all pigs and birds,<\/p>\n

Laini Taylor<\/b> @ Shelf Elf<\/a> wants a positive future,<\/p>\n

Jim DiBartolo<\/b> @ Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast<\/a> shares the contents of his breakfast: Clementine Pie<\/b>. Of course.<\/p>\n

Amanda Marrone<\/b> @ Writing & Ruminating<\/a> uses vampires as a catalyst for change. It works! And then some…<\/p>\n

Thomas Randall<\/b> @ Bildungsroman<\/a> has tricked me into reading a Christopher Golden novel. Wonder how he did that? <\/p>\n

Michael Hague<\/b> @ Fuse Number 8<\/a> owes it all to Mad Magazine. And Prince Valiant, of course.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read and enjoy, and stay tuned for a brief chat with Sheba Karim, author of Skunk Girl<\/i> here, tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
