I know, I know – NYC trip; summer 2010 buying appointments; book fairs; book talks; event planning; oh yeah and then there’s my actual home life. I have had to jam so many books into my days that I do not actually have time to stop and review them, which completely sucks.

I can tell you a little bit about one book I love and can’t wait for, though, because they picked my blurb for it for the Spring Kids’ Indie Next List:

Drizzle by Kathleen Van Cleve
(Dial Books for Young Readers, $16.99, 9780803733626)
“Polly Peabody lives on a magical rhubarb farm where diamonds grow and rain falls on a schedule. But when the rain stops falling, the plants begin to wither and the tourists stop coming. Polly’s belief in the magic has always been unwavering — is it enough to bring the farm (and her shaken family) back to life? The only thing more magical than the rhubarb farm itself? This book.” –Melissa Posten, Pudd’nhead Books, Webster Groves, MO

I was so excited to see it included – I LOVE THIS BOOK and cannot wait to sell it. See the preview of the whole list here!

(Be back soon, I promise.)
