Other Good Stuff:
BBC Three will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of the publications of Grimm's Fairy Tales with interviews and readings from "poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy, Michael Morpurgo, the author of War Horse, John Agard, the poet and playwright, Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials, and the writer of comic fantasy stories, Sir Terry Pratchett." For more info, here's the Guardian article. [Which is correct--Grimm's Tales, as the Guardian has it, or Grimms' Tales, since there were two brothers????]
Not related to mg sff at all, but these reviews are Utterly Funny (thanks to This is Not the Six World Novel)
Of Bloggish interest:
The schedule for Kitlitcon 2012 is up! And it looks great. This is the most fun conference ever (if, of course, you are a children's book blogger. If you are a dairy farm, perhaps, not so much).
Sign ups are now ongoing for the A More Diverse Universe blog tour, which will happen Sept 23rd to Sept. 29th. "To participate, you need only read and review one book in the speculative fiction genre that was written by a person of color."
Book Blogger Appreciation Week is coming Sept. 10-14 (with no awards this year, which I think is for the best).
This week's round-up brought to you by the Poodle Moth, coming soon to a backyard near you:
Thanks for sharing your roundup! I look forward to it each week. I'll see you in a few weeks - what fun KidLitCon will be!
ReplyDeleteOoooooooh, thank you for the heads up on the Diverse Universe tour. I went and signed up immediately, but I'm dying to review THORN by Intisar Khanani well before the end of the month!! Oh, the agony.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the mention, Charlotte, and for the great links, as usual!
