I just got back from a lovely week long vacation where I did not read one single book intended for children or teens. It was incredibly restful and a lot of fun. I have Hidden: A Child’s Story of the Holocaust nearly ready for you all, Owly, Vol. 1: The Way Home & The Bittersweet Summer on my bedside table and Smile and Drama on the bookshelf. Needless to say, I am very excited.
In the mean time, I wanted to mention that although I signed up for a Twitter account this summer and urged everyone to follow me then, I actually have managed to be active on that account over the past month. Sure, I tweet links to my posts here, which you probably already know about, but I also retweet links to interesting articles that I think you might like and engage in some discussions about who should be deciding what “appropriate content” is, and whether there is such a thing as a boy book or a girl book, and lots of other great stuff. So if you’re not following me over there yet, go ahead and do it now!
