I hope to post an actual review later today, but first I wanted to ask:
HOW IN HECK do those of you who blog, have jobs, and have families actually get all of this done?
I’m just going to talk at random about what’s going on right now, mostly to make myself feel better about being [...]

Clearly I am taking one! It turns out I am too busy
1. selling books
2. setting up author visits
3. selling books at a children’s theatre
4. buying backlist books on special
5. reading books
6. buying spring (!!!) books for the shop
7. planning three store parties
and oh yeah
8. spending time with my family, including my husband who is going [...]

The comment policy here consists of two rules:
1. Don’t be a jerk to me or anyone else. Disagreement is fine; insults are not.
2. No anonymous comments. No exceptions. If you’re going to write a comment and get it posted here, you’re going to have to use an actual email address and at least some pretense [...]

Please welcome, at last, my dear friend and former coworker Sarah to the Kidliterate staff. I am thrilled to have her here. You’ll probably have read her first review before you read this, since I’m posting this first and the review will be on top. Her bio, which is also up on our staff page, [...]

I am going away for 12 days, to take my daughter to Sesame Place among other things. After having a bit of a panicky feeling while looking at my ARC stacks last night, I have decided: no kids’ books on this trip except the ones I read to my child. Somehow I have made myself [...]

My friend Kymm, who I have known online since we used to write online journals on our slates in chalk (while walking uphill both ways to the internet cafe), has joined us here at Kidliterate. She’s the author of the lovely review of THE AMARANTH ENCHANTMENT that appears below. I am thrilled to have her [...]

I’m in New Jersey for a few days helping my mom pack to move out here with us, so no postings from me until the weekend. (Perhaps someone else might post, though!) I have so many backlogged books to review I’m afraid I may never finish them! And yesterday I spent a couple hours at [...]

I haven’t mentioned this in awhile – if you have a Livejournal account, you can follow Kidliterate’s feed here.

Please don’t write and ask me to re-post my reviews of your books at Glamazon.com, or, when I say no, ask me if you can do it yourself. A little poking around this website will show you that I am a bookseller at a full-service independent, and that I spent five years as a bookseller [...]

I’m going away tomorrow for a little over a week and probably won’t update while I’m gone. Perhaps someone else will step in with a review, and perhaps not – SarahJanet’s away too, I know. In any event, we’ll see you somehow within the next week and a half or so.
