I love Avatar: The Last Airbender! Can you tell? I’ve been searching for good ones–by the way, still on the lookout, so could always use more links!–but my favorite has to be this one. I got it from the-paper-nun, but it turns out that Adrasteia actually made it. At any rate, I love it! (And [...]

I have a friend who has been raving about this show for a while. I’d watched part of it once, but it was in the middle of the show, in the middle of the season, and it just didn’t make any sense to me at the time. So I gave up on it for more interesting [...]

I’ve finally finished Cynthia Leitich Smith’s Tantalize in ARC, which a coworker grabbed for me last summer at ALA. It won’t be out till March, but when it is, you should read it. Contemporary fantasy involving vampires, werewolves, other shapeshifters, and some really good (and sometimes creepy) food. In addition to a highly useful children’s [...]

Thanks for all the SF suggestions a few posts back. Now I’m madly scribbling down all the books I should be reading. Someone mentioned Robin Hobb, which reminds me that I have an ARC of Shaman’s Crossing I’ve been meaning to read because a friend loves her work. (Yes, I know Shaman’s Crossing came out [...]

Shannon Hale, author of Princess Academy, Goose Girl, and many others, says of In the Serpent’s Coils, “A luscious read.” Thanks, Shannon! We’re so glad she enjoyed it, and we hope you do too. Another month until ALA Midwinter–be sure to keep an eye out for Mirrorstone in the Wizards of the Coast booth, and [...]

I’m going to be on a panel in a few months about YA and middle grade SF. The basic premise of this panel, according to the organizers, is that there is barely any YA SF out there.
I would beg to differ. It’s just much, much cooler and more contemporary than most of the adult SF [...]

Ooh! Oh! What did I just find? That’s right, a story written by me in the 8th grade that I’d completely forgotten about. I don’t even remember writing it. Whew, what a laugh I’ve been having typing it up.
I won’t subject you to all of it, but I will give you the first page. Background: [...]

Ohhhh, the paaaaain!
At the urging of tltrent, I’ll subject you all to some poetry from my high school notebook. *blushes* I’m more inclined to share the essay on Death of a Salesman that my teacher liked so much, but that wouldn’t be nearly so interesting, I suppose. Without further ado, behold what a cheeseball I [...]

Mini marshmallows.
Renewable source. Non-messy, since they like to eat them.
Marshmallows aren’t bad for cats, are they? (I mean, one at a time, not a lot at once, expanding in their little tummies…)
