1) I noticed yesterday on [info]sarazarr’s blog that her awesome book Sweethearts is a Kindle book. I watched the video on these books and especially took note that the screens can be viewed out in the sun. WHEN will they make laptops that can do the same? Summer is coming and I want to work outdoors.

2) I had a dream last night. I rarely dream and if I do, I rarely remember them. But this one was a doozy. It was me and Meg Cabot. Meg and I were left alone in the Henry Holt offices to keep an eye on things while all the editors were out. Yes, we were publisher sitters. And we got a little silly like teens left alone for the weekend. And Meg had some fabulous taffy she shared with me. And then we totally forgot we were supposed to be publisher sitting (sorry, Kate) and we took off on a sailboat that just happened to be downstairs. In New York. I’ve never met Meg Cabot, but if I do, I already know she is a heck of a lot of fun.

3) In book news, JENNA got a BBYA nom : ). And I had two interviews, one in PW Children’s Bookshelf, and another at Teen Book Review. Thanks Sue and Jocelyn!

4) And last but not least, I cut into your normally scheduled program for a Public Service Announcment. It's that time of year for me–I had my annual mammogram yesterday. So I am taking the time to remind all of you to make your appointments. Do I need to name names? I have always been pretty good about remembering these appointments, but a few years ago I became religious about it. My friend Kathy, had a routine mammogram and they discovered a tiny lump that she wouldn't have been able to feel for months. That early detection made a HUGE difference in her treatment and recovery. So, girlfriends, what are you waiting for? Go make your appointment.
And if you are a guy reading this, nudge the women in your life. Trust me, there is no better way to say, "I love you."

Hurray, the weekend is here. Have a fabulous one!
talk to me . . .
