Sidenote:
Also, maybe this is because I'm still newish to the blogging/twitter book world, (although I don't think I'll ever get over this) but was so excited to hear back from some awesome authors this week!  Talked about children's lit theory with Jonathan Auxier, about her next book with Maile Meloy and got to show my Madame Ionesco costume pics to Maryrose Wood and she loved them!!  It's still so cool to me to be able to connect with these authors who create such awesome stories that we're able to inhabit for a little while :)

And in case you didn't see this on my facebook page or you curious as to what costume pics I'm talking about here they are:
