Or not “you” so much as “me,” but in any case, the following links came to me over the holidays, and I wanted to share! First, this review of Let it Snow by Jocelyn over at Teen Book Review. To quote: “Maureen Johnson can always be counted on for hilarity and cheer! I loved it. I laughed out loud. In Target.”
Rexroth woke me very suddenly this morning, from a pleasant dream of cashmere hoodies and comfortable peep-toe pumps, in order to announce a blizzard moving across the land. Well, ok, not “the land” in general, but more specifically, where we’re trying to get for Christmas. So, in order to avoid any holiday movie moments such as being stuck in a dingy roadside motel for four days, celebrating the holidays with a gasoline-scented Christmas tree and a motel clerk named “Otis,” we may be heading out early. Which gives today, my last day in the office for two weeks, a sense of urgency.
Otherwise known as the “it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I have nothing exciting to write about” blog post. So! First of all, isn’t this “tree” cool? I found the image on Australian publisher Allen & Unwin’s blog page — A&U, by the way, which will publish kt literary client Lili Wilkinson’s new book PINK next year.
Congratulations to Rena, who was the first to guess my all-time favorite holiday movie: that Bing Crosby/Danny Kaye classic “White Christmas.”
‘m in a “Let It Snow” kind of mood — partly because I love snowboots, partly because we got about 6 inches of the powdery stuff last night, and I let Rexroth take the all-wheel-drive vehicle, so I’m happily ensconced in the home office, and partly because there’s more good news to share about Let It Snow!
