I HAVE to share my write-up of the Wrinkle In Time 50th Birthday Party I had at my library this week: http://rockinlibrarian.livejournal.com/235337.html
I'm going to BEA, and I'd love to see you there! (if that makes any difference) Thanks again for the weekly roundup - I always find it valuable.
Hmm. I guess these are middle grade fantasy! Retro, but yes--I reviewed Randall Jarrell and Maurice Sendak's books. http://bookaunt.blogspot.com/2012/03/when-maurice-sendak-and-randall-jarrell.html
I guess you're right! I saw the post, but it didn't click--they're in now.
Cool party--thanks for the link!
Glad to know you're going--I'd love to meet you!
Glad you linked this up with Shannon's Marvelous Middle Grade Mondays. You spotlight so much middle grade.
Here's my review of The Inquisitor's Apprentice. :) Love these round-ups.
