Some days, I love working in kidlit.

Basically all anyone in the office was talking about today was how to snag an ARC of Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger GamesAll the conversation was about when it would be available at BEA, and if it was ticketed, and who everyone knew who could get them a copy, and who was next to read it after that person. Whispered conversations all over ( Read more... )

it's time to let kidlit drive the bus, kidlit

Whereas at my office I keep talking about it and getting blank looks. I've got someone going tomorrow keeping an eye out for me, and I'm crossing my fingers that it'll be there when I go on Saturday (oh please oh please oh please).

Scholastic posted precise information on their blog. Giveaways (unsigned) at 10am on Friday and Saturday, and the ticketed signing on Friday. :)

I'm going in early for tickets for other things anyway so I'll try to pick up one for that. Otherwise, I'll be happy with an unsigned arc.

I want your job.

No seriously. A job where you can get a dirty look for not reading a book? I am in joy at the idea. I get picked on by EVERYone for reading too fast! You're lucky!

(And yes, I realize there are probably problems with such a job, but I am still jealous!)
