  1. I just sent my editor @nancyrosep my manuscript of The Wells Bequest, the companion novel to The Grimm Legacy.
  2. Exciting fairytale discovery--new subcollection in the Repository? guardian.co.uk/books/2012/mar…
  3. Horrifying--the New York Public Library plans to trash the stacks and banish the 3 million books to New Jersey: thenation.com/article/164881…
  4. In English: The Grimm Legacy's on the shortlist for #Leserpreis. Vote here: http://www.lovelybooks.de/leserpreis/2010/Kinder-Jugendbuch
  5. Die geheime Sammlung auf der Shortlist vom #Leserpreis - Stimmt für mich ab: http://www.lovelybooks.de/leserpreis/2010/Kinder-Jugendbuch
  6. The Grimm Legacy made School Library Journal's Best Books 2010 list: schoollibraryjournal.com/slj/newsletter… via @AddThis
  7. Signed a contract to write THE WELLS BEQUEST, a companion to THE GRIMM LEGACY, with Jaya as a teen and a science fiction/time travel theme
  8. Historical jellies; note especially the eggs and bacon halfway down the page: http://www.historicfood.com/Jellies.htm
  9. I can't believe I never read Elizabeth Stoddard's 'The Morgesons' before. Loving it! Weird & unsentimental--an American 'Jane Eyre.'
  10. Patent of the week: An 1889 automaton. http://tinyurl.com/2ckfhos
  11. Who knew it was so hard to change a doorknob? I feel like the punchline of a lightbulb joke.
  12. Fun with the kids at the Thalia Book Club Camp last week: http://www.symphonyspace.org/blog/2010/08/thalia-book-club-camp-wednesday/
  13. At last done alphabetizing the poetry.
  14. Unpacking books is hard--I want to sit down and reread them all.
  15. Tonight I debugged my floor lamp: I removed the shade and bulb, turned it upside down, and shook it until all the dead bugs fell out.
  16. Unpacked all my clothes and dishes in my new apt, computer's fixed, phone's connected--pretty soon I'll have no more excuses not to write.
  17. @PAN_Verlag @Buchkolumne Polly here. I am writing another book set in the Repository, with the teenage Jaya as the heroine.
  18. Packing News: I seem to own more teacups than you can shake a stick at (which I hope you won't).
  19. Word Play - latimes.com http://bit.ly/dgMnvs
