1. Napoli strikes again

I've just found out Donna Jo Napoli has a new fairy tale novel coming out this spring, and it's making me die a little. WAAAAAANT.


The Wager is an adaptation of the Grimm tale called The Bearskinner, and I will trade a whole batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies for the chance to read an ARC. (Note: I am really good at chocolate chip cookies. Ask Deborah Wiles.)

Thank you, Betsy Bird, for compromising my sanity until April.

*whimper*

3. CATCHING FIRE, by Suzanne Collins

CATCHING FIRE
by Suzanne Collins

(Scholastic Press)

I can tell you exactly three things about this book without spoiling it:

1. I'm shallow enough that I savored just *having* Catching Fire as much as I enjoyed actually reading it.

2. If you're tempted to be let down by the political domination of the plot in the first half, don't despair. The second 200 pages will nail you.

3. You know that sinking feeling you get when the chunk of pages left to read is getting skinnier and skinnier, but the action isn't winding down? And can't possibly wind down in the remaining 1/8 inch? Be prepared for that. (Especially if you're as great big a pouty-pants about cliffhanger endings as I am.)

The end.

(Available September 1. As if you aren't already counting the days.)

4. Handselling days gone by

Digging into Al Capone Shines My Shoes* has suddenly ressurected one of my better handselling memories...One afternoon a baldish, 50-something fellow wandered into the shop, probably taging along with his wife. He happened to be wearing a t-shirt very like this one: Of course, I couldn't help myself. "Look," I said, leading him over to the middle school section, and handing him a copy of Al

6. Galley lust comeuppance

I probably deserve this for flaunting Fire, Forest Born, AND The Miles Between, so all you fans of schadenfreude will be happy to know that at least half a dozen people I know are reading Catching Fire and mine has. Not. Come. Yet. *chuff*

9. A scheme

I am headed to my local library, where, according to the online catalog, a copy of Living Dead Girl is on hold -- for someone else. My plan goes like this: smile pretty, ask nice, and solemnly swear that I will not leave the building if they'll only take that book off the hold shelf for 60 minutes and let me sit down and read it right there on the spot.
