>Junior Library Guild

>?The Hunchback Assignments is officially a Junior Library Guild selection. This is so cool! And I was only hoping for Lollipop Guild membership! : ) It's especially pleasing to have a book that features the nefarious Clockwork Guild and the suspicious Permanent Association being recognized by a real guild in the real world.

The Junior Library Guild reads about 3000 books and selects 336 to be recommended to various libraries. Read more about the selection process (and see some cool graphics, too) here.

It's a great kick off to the series!

>Isn't it funny the things an author gets excited about?

? This is what the dump bins (that is the bins that are used to sell books in book stores) will look like in Australia. Very cool! It's like Modo is going to leap out at you if you don't buy the book. Finally, he's in 3D. I am disappointed that no one is going for my idea of a steam-powered, mechanical giant that picks up the customers, shakes out all their money and slides a book into their pocket. Apparently it's tooooo expensive!

>?It’s day 12 of being the facilitator of the "writing for young adults" lab at Sage Hill Writing Experience. Yep, it's over. It's done! 12 Days (11 for the students) of time to write, critique, laugh, listen to my mind numbing lectures, eat amazing food, write, rewrite, and play frisbee. To my calculations there were 2 broken arms, 2 broken legs, 1 slashed arm and six dead (Uh, I'm talking about characters in books, not students btw).

I'm blogging from home (must use treadmill desk to lose the weight I gained). It already seems like a dream...
