Love that last name. It’s very familiar to me.

Jeanne: Thanks! Glad you like it. Eric Luper: I know of Ten Cents A Dance by Christine Fletcher and Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. Though that's more middle grade than YA. It's totally excellent. Am just about to read Ten Cents. I hear it's great.

Hey, maybe we’ll both be on the same face-out display of YA books that take place in the thirties! There’ll be mine, yours and…. ummmm…. Are there any others?

Just today, I proposed ignoring the news (the American financial news, in particular) in favor of debating what kind of fairy readers would like. Like so many others, I didn't review How To Ditch Your Fairy so much as I said I enjoyed reading it and then launched into how interesting the idea of the fairies is! You can find it here.

I’m tempted to run for president myself. No one would like me, no one would agree with me, no one would help me. Four years of the government doing nothing but fighting with me would do wonderful things for the country methinks.

Good for you for staying out of it. While it’s important, for more than just USians, there’s too much mudslinging to even air an opinion on a minor matter without starting flame wars all over.

Hurry up with that 1930s book so I can retreat there mentally.
