You are on a speakerphone with at least 14 teachers and librarians and suchlike great, wise and good people, I thought. Do not start swearing like you did when you got the Hugo. This was a wise thing to think because otherwise huge, mighty and four-letter swears were gathering. I mean, that's what they're for.

Made me laugh on a day when I needed it. It's just such a perfect response.

Yup, terrific news. Margo Lanagan also won the Printz Honor Books for Tender Morsels.

Yes, I heard that her book was honored...I don't think that's the same as having won an award but too lazy to go back and check it out.

Well deserved! I read the book earlier this month and really enjoyed it.

I loved it - it's awesome. In fact, I'm asking for the audiobook read by him as a birthday pressie.

Also, Ellen, I get to meet you on Saturday - we're attending the Poe BFS event in Fleet Street. I'll be the one who can't speak, making mumbling noises etc.

You had BETTER come up and introduce yourself to me or I'll be very pissed off :-) Looking forward to meeting you.
