Reading something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue
Just wanted to leave a note that all is well — thank you for all the emails! I have spent the last few weeks reading for the Children’s and Young Adult Bloggers Literary Awards (Cybils), where I am a second round judge for graphic novels. I read 14 graphic novels for the Cybils — half for middle grade and half for YA (photo finish!), and our committee submitted our decision this morning; so now we all just have to wait for the awards announcement this weekend.
Pardon the sporadic posting in the last couple of weeks — I’m in the thick of preparing for this month’s book discussion (Dodie Smith’s “I Capture the Castle”), which I’ll be moderating in Bacolod this weekend.
I’ve been crafting almost nonstop for our discussion swag in the last three weeks, and this book, “Stamp It: DIY Printing with Handmade Stamps” has come in handy. The book is by the same creator as Craft-A-Doodle, which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I had no qualms about buying this one.
