Boy, nothing like someone giving me a project to do when I’m in the middle of another one. Can you say “project jumping?” I emerge, manic, from poetry wrangling all last night. I dreamed in iambic pentameter. It was not pretty. If you’re looking for pretty, via Chicken Spaghetti<\/a> we find a fabulous interview at Bookslut with poet Natasha Trethewey<\/a>, whose gifted poetry straddles worlds. Colleen’s Booksluts in Training<\/a> are at the School of Hard Knocks, and this month include a review of Ellen Emmerson White’s Long May She Reign<\/i>, which is steadily making its way to the top of my TBR List!<\/p>\n

I’m a bit late to Bottom Shelf Books’ review of Tuesday<\/i><\/a> — but trust me, that book is quite surreal enough for the political landscape of Super Tuesday!! I remember just giggling the first time I read it — ah, the night of flying frogs — and thinking that the creators were on that wonderful, mind-tripping substance called creativity. It’s a REALLY weird, beautiful book full of possibilities that can fit in a weird, beautiful world full of the same.<\/p>\n

Via SF Signal<\/a>, a Jonathan Stroud (of The Bartimeus trilogy fame) interview at a French SF<\/a> website. (No worries: it’s in ENGLISH.)<\/p>\n

Today’s 28 Days Later<\/a> is a favorite in the blogosphere, Janice Harrington<\/a>, who wrote The Chicken-Chasing Queen of Lamar County<\/i>, much loved and discussed by Jules @ Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Via Galleycat<\/a>, it’s L Magazine’s 4th Annual Literary Upstarts Competition<\/a>. New Yorkers, start your engines.<\/p>\n

Still Helping a (big) Sister Out:<\/b> Thanks for all the suggestions for MG books for the Ramona-loving little sister. Someone suggested graphic novels, and that really sparked some ideas. Now I’m looking for MG books with differently-abled protagonists. Anyone? Thanks in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
