Other Good Stuff:
I could have put this in the reviews section, but thought it would be happier down here--Kate Forsyth takes a loving look at an old favorite--The Stone Cage, by Nicholas Stuart Gray, at Seven Miles of Steel Thistles.
I made a short quiz of mother's shown on covers of recent mg sff books for Mother's Day. It's short cause there aren't many.
And finally, librarians on parade to celebrate spring and promote summer reading (found at 100 Scope Notes). I find it strangely moving (no pun intended).
Thanks for all the links and for including mine. Happy Mother's Day!
