Best T-shirt ever (updated)
On Saturday I ran into wondrous super-librarian Carlie Webber at Book Expo America (BEA). She was wearing the best T-shirt of all time. Check it out:

Update: The T-shirt of greatness was created by Amy

Ha, that’s funny. I must admit I didn’t know what a mary sue was. But I checked Wikipedia and it’s even funnier. Okay, I didn’t know what a mary sue is, but anyone who hasn’t read Harry Potter is way worse!

Too funny!!
It reminds me a shirt I saw in a bookshop once that said “Fictional Character” on it. I still regret not getting it–if I ever see it again…
