Posted by alli on 10-01-2008
Our friend Claire Mysko (author of You're Amazing, hopes news of Anne of Green Gables author LM Montgomery's suicide will spark important conversations.) (Globe and Mail)
- Cybils Nominations start TODAY! (Find out how you can participate and start a- nominatin'.) (Jen Robinson's Book Page)
- Musings about the possibility of an iPhone novel (One question: What's up with the clothing-as-a-visual metaphor?) (Tomorrow Museum)
- Follow-up to news of Minx's cancellation (The Guardian has some opinions as to why…)
- Del Ray Manga (an imprint of Random House, is partnering with Cartoon Network to publish some fun new projects this year.) (Cynopsis)
- I found Little Willow's talk of The Great Gatsby (and why it's great, wonderful! Also, in light of our recent post about objections to Catcher in the Rye as "required reading" a super appropriate expanded discussion.) (Guys Lit Wire)
- What do book bloggers do all day? (As a result of a discussion at Kidlit Blogger Conference, Collen Mondor at Chasing Ray shares an average work morning. Personally, I found it very helpful.)
- LuvLuv titles soon available on NETCOMICS (LuvLuv is "passionate manga for women, LuvLuv graphic novels depict realistic sexual relationships and real life romances, themes and storylines from a woman's perspective.")
- Check out Jaye J. Fenderson (She's a teen a Seventeen staffer who wrote a new book on getting into college: Seventeen's Guide to Getting into College.)
- Something light for these heavy political times (Gossip Girls author Cecily van Ziegesar asks is Barack Obama "a Nate, a Dan, a Chuck, a Serena, or a Blair?") (YA for Obama)

Thanks so much for mentioning the Cybils, Alli! And the "something light for these heavy political times" is a lot of fun, too.
