J. K. Rowling, R. L. Stine and Me?

Q: In which newspaper would you find mega-best-selling authors J. K. Rowling, R. L. Stine and, um, me in the same article?

A: The San Francisco Chronicle.

Support the First Amendment, Read a Banned Book


Banned Books Week is September 27th through October 4th. Click here to read a letter from Chip Gibson, President & Publisher of Random House Children’s Books. Learn more here.



And still other book news . . .


Thanks to the people from the Osceola library system who did a great job putting together the Fall into Reading Book Festival.



Here I am at the display table with my goodies. (Notice the voter registration forms in the middle of the table? Everyone I asked was already registered to vote. Are you? If not, hurry it up; you only have until October 6th!)


I had a blast meeting Chris Crutcher and hearing him speak and read from some of his books.


Lisa Campbell Ernst was wonderful, and I enjoyed our conversation, but unfortunately had to leave before her presentation.


Big thanks to Hubby for waking at 5 a.m. and driving 2 ½ hours with me even though he had a cold.



Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m off to exercise my right to read a banned book. Hmm. I’ve got one of Chris Crutcher’s right here.


Happy reading/registering,

Donna
