In this case, I was going for humor over accuracy. The post title is a reference to a funny line in the first Austin Powers movie. You can watch the scene in question here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67E42LQsU24 Yes, of course, you are quite right about the grammatical error!

I started to think I was just droning on & on about meeeee, and really, you're here for the books. I think who I am & what I'm about will come through in the way I discuss them, right? Right. tess, fear not about fawning. I flatter myself that the 2012 lineup is very fine, as well! :-) Sarah, Karyn & I have some great posts brewing, but of course it is KILLING ME to refrain from discussing books in gory detail. We'll figure out our rhythm as we go along. Thanks for being part of it, and for being so welcoming! Elizabeth & tess, thanks so much.

And if I can be really fawning and kiss-up-y, may I say that the 2012 Printz is, in my opinion, the strongest lineup ever? So I'm very excited to read what you have to say. :) I wasn’t bored at all, Sophie – welcome!

Sorry about that! First: the Queen/David Bowie video that's been cleverly edited to make it look like they were performing "Under Pressure" live together, something my serious Queen fan husband is pretty sure they never did. The Bowie footage is from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert (has a man ever worn a pistachio-green suit so well? I think not. Call me, David!) and the Queen footage is from their amazeballs 1986 comeback tour. I included it because I love the song so much and because introducing myself here, well, I felt under pressure. Obvs. The other reference was the title of this post, which is from Austin Powers at his most charmingly awkward: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67E42LQsU24 Hey, I forgot to spell out the pop culture references.
