Posted by meredith on 11-10-2008
NYT’s Top Ten Illustrated Children’s Books (some great selections this year including this beautiful biography of William Carlos Williams) (New York Times, reg required)
- Another wacky t-shirt tie-in? (I’m really not one to talk. I totally fell for every book that came with a charm bracelet) (GalleyCat)
- YALSA’s YA Lit Symposium (was held in Nashville, TN this past weekend. Check out their blog for video and audio from the event. Also, see Twitter posts on this Twemes page)
- Immune to Twilight fever? (The actress playing Bella in the upcoming films can apparently take it or leave it. Ouch. Thanks Stefan!) (i09)
- Google to publish out-of-print books (and the battle between Google and Amazon quietly rages on) (NY Times, reg. required)
- All booksellers want for Christmas (is to make it out of the Holiday season in decent shape. With heavy hitter JK Rowling on deck, there may be hope yet) (Publisher’s Weekly)
- ‘Knucklead’ (trailer is out) (Fuse #8)
- A room of one’s own (or at least a separate section. Popular indie bookstore Politics and Prose sets aside space for older teens) (The Brown Bookshelf)
- ‘The Saints of Augustine’ (interesting review on Guys Lit Wire)
- Dear Mr. President-Elect… (Fourth-graders’ letters to Obama. Plus, children’s author Fran Manushkin suggests a Children’s Inauguration) (Edinger House) (Fuse #8)
