As always, last night's visit to Blue Willow Bookshop rocked! As did the indomitable Cynthia Leitich Smith and her husband Greg, talented and adorable and also with a new book! That's Cyn's new Tantalize: Kieren's Story, a graphic novel posing with us. Kieren is a secondary character in Tantalize and now we get to see his own story in this very fascinating art form.Hadn't thought much about graphic novels lately. But Cyn described the creative process and the close collaboration between writer and artist, much closer in many ways than the relationship between author and illustrator when creating picture books, at least as the model currently exists in publishing.
Speaking of Cyn, contest still going on in her honor to win signed copies of Jennifer Archer's Through her Eyes and Sophie Jordan's Firelight! Check it out here, but only through Monday.
Missed Vampire Diaries last night (do not spoil it for me anyone!) so I'll have to catch up on line. Oh Damon! What shenanigans were you up to while I wasn't watching?
Also missed SMG's Ringer this week and will have to find that, too! I'm hooked enough to keep going.
And yes, I haven't broken my Housewives habit yet --- but am awaiting the return of Bethenny Ever After, or whatever it is she'll call the new season.
Secret Circle -- I'll give you a few more eps, too.
What are you watching this season? Let me know!
Vampire Diaries has a strong start this year. Team Damon!
ReplyDeleteI watched the first ep of Ringer, but wasn't sucked in. I'll give it a few more. Secret Circle has been decent, and Revenge was surprisingly hookable. Also have my eye on Hart of Dixie and Once Upon a Time.
