Carolrhoda Books Blog: Let me help you
http://carolrhoda.blogspot.com/2012/09/let-me-help-you.html
Friday, September 14, 2012. Let me help you. Oh the demographic humanities. It’s authorial cognitive dissonance of biblical proportions! Old people are buying lots of YA novels! Publishers are creating new audience categories for new adults. Meanwhile 80 percent of all query letters contain a version of this phrase “teen readers will relate to/empathize with/etc.”. Who will come to your aid? What is an author to do? Posted by Andrew Karre. Let me help you. Lerner Publishing Group Blog. Ilsa J. Bick.

http://carolrhoda.blogspot.com/2014/10/let-us-now-praise-school-visitors.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Let us now praise school visitors. I get to work with many authors and illustrators who have school-visit schedules that would make your head spin.

Carolrhoda Books Blog: A Way It Could Be
http://carolrhoda.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-way-it-could-be.html
Monday, August 12, 2013. A Way It Could Be. How about a bit of utopianism for Monday morning? Here’s the deal. If you spend an hour with this 11-video oral history of skateboarding photography. These artists are literally and figuratively subject focused. They’re trying to great work with the creative material at hand, and even though that material is incredibly fluid and dynamic, the quality of the work over the thirty-plus years covered in these videos is uniformly high. What a concept. Carolrhoda Pict...

Carolrhoda Books Blog: Down from their towers
http://carolrhoda.blogspot.com/2014/11/down-from-their-towers.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2014. Down from their towers. First, Margaret Willey has a tremendously interesting and very honest essay on L’Engle’s. And the long history of YA girls at the Horn Book website right now, and you should read it. It’s a window into why she is a joy to edit and publish. Antic connection without the complications of having sexual intercourse. In love with love, yes. Sexually curious, perhaps. But sexually active, never. The whole thing is here. In so many words, I want to see it all.

A Reader's Ramblings: February 2014
http://areadersramblings.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 28, 2014. My Ramblings on The Homesman by Glendon Swarthout. I grabbed this book at the airport on my way home from vacation. I liked the cover and I really liked the idea that this was going to be a movie coming out soon. I was also surprised when I saw the books that Swarthout had written, some have become great movies (like The Shootist) and I hadn't read any of his books. I really enjoyed this book and I'm really looking forward to the movie. Posted by Kate E. March 14th, 2014. I fou...
