The Treasure Map of Boys-- FREE!

Hi misfits!!

I just wanted to post and notify you all to that E. Lockhart's publishers are offering free ARCs of The Treasure Map of Boys to YA bloggers-- all you have to do is email Emily at elockhart@earthlink.com with your name, address, and the URL of your blog. I already snagged my copy from The Children's Bookshop (as previously mentioned) but I know others of you might not have been so blessed, and would want to take advantage of this great offer.

Now if only Maureen Johnson would make the same offer with Scarlett Fever, my life would be complete.

Gorilla artist Anthony Browne becomes children's laureate. Ooooooo I absolutely love Anthony Browne.

Summer Reading

Hello Misfits!

My summer reading plans have been hijacked by www.infinitesummer.org. It's a group challenge to read all 1000 pages of Infinite Jest between June 21 and September 22.

As they say:

A thousand pages¹ ÷ 92 days = 75 pages a week. No sweat.

1. Plus endnotes^a.
a. A lot of them.
