Tip of the Day: Check out THE AGE OF MIRACLES by Karen Thompson Walker for a great adult book with teen appeal (I hope it makes the Alex Award list). The earth's rotation is slowing, making the days and nights longer...will it stop or be the end of life as we know it? (And will it happen to us on Dec. 21??? :))
Happy Holidays, A2A Readers!
Lately I've been swamped with a few things:
1. Christmas preparations, including making the house decent enough for my bro and his wife to stay with me and attending various holiday soirees (aka Festivus).
2. Revising the end of a MG novel I hope to query agents with by February.
3. Reading the Morris Award nominees, some adult novels that may be Alex Award contenders, and two books to review for VOYA.
4. Using up my vacation time at work, while still trying to pull together a teen art opening and reception tomorrow night.
My post today is lacking real concrete content due to said busy times, but I promise in January to recap my top five reads of 2012 out of 200 books read (yes, I will hit 200 by Jan. 1; am at 196 now).
Until then, enjoy the days getting longer and the New Year!
