American Libraries has given us a great little peek inside one of the most fun (I imagine) parts of being a member of a book selection committee; the calls to the winning authors!
And only slightly off topic – but what did we all think of Coraline? I saw it over the weekend in 3D and it was perfect! Just beautiful and magical and creeeeepy.
I have mixed feelings about the Coraline movie. I thought it was gorgeous and wonderous in many ways. But I do have a couple of quibbles which I posted on child_lit for anyone interested in a discussion.
