At On Starships and Dragonwings, there's a new Friday round-up feature of sci fi and fantasy (MG to adult)--I will try hard to remember to add links, and hope many others do to, because goodness knows I have trouble keeping up with what's out there in the grown-up world.
Speaking of the grown-up world....I am a regular reader of the Linkspam collected at Radish Reviews, which quite often includes links to conversations that keep on making me glad I am not part of the adult world of sci fi/fantasy. And this week's collection is no exception, and after stopping for many Cleansing Breaths I am determined that I will renew my commitment to reviewing sci fi/fantasy books for kids with non-white protagonists, because the readers of today will be the fans of tomorrow.....and I had to take a break from rounding-up to write a whole post about it.
And now, on with getting ready for Christmas by a. reading hundreds of books b. cleaning the house
"because the readers of today will be the fans of tomorrow"
