You should correct that very soon :)<br /><br />I&#39;ve read Huntress. I think it was a great fantasy, not perfect, good. I love Malinda Lo!!!girlsinthestacks.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01514076761595501440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106305278604193777.post-30006804868186100252011-08-24T20:49:49.929-07:002011-08-24T20:49:49.929-07:00@Kim, I&#39;m chairing the Local Arrangements Committee for Anaheim. So, unfortunately no excuse to go to midwinter this time around... hope you&#39;re having fun on your committee! <br /><br />@Beth, The China Garden is sooo goooood. But I seem to remember it being pretty steamy in parts, so I don&#39;t think it would be quite right for your classroom. It&#39;s been several years since I&#39;ve read it, though, so you might want to read it yourself and see what you think! Ha, your comments on Elsewhere totally make sense. I don&#39;t know, maybe I have a complex about aging... the idea of aging backwards sounded kind of comforting to me. ;)<br /><br />@Benji, thanks for the comment! I agree about Sherman Alexie-- I was lucky enough to meet him at an ALA conference a few years ago, and he was just as awesome as his writing.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628530227439660832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106305278604193777.post-68869590994168994072011-08-23T20:33:28.738-07:002011-08-23T20:33:28.738-07:00Nice!<br />I got to see Sherman Alexi in person, he&#39;s so charming!Benjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01452136775991678644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106305278604193777.post-52862534779374406502011-08-23T18:03:16.523-07:002011-08-23T18:03:16.523-07:00I bought a copy of The China Garden at my library&#39;s used book store but haven&#39;t read it yet. I haven&#39;t put it on my classroom library bookshelf either because I wasn&#39;t sure if it would be too mature for 6th graders. Is it a fairly innocent YA romance or is it more edgy and mature?<br /><br />I was not a huge fan of Elsewhere. I didn&#39;t hate it, but I thought Zevin&#39;s idea of the afterlife was incredibly depressing. To die and have to live your afterlife like a human life but backwards? Yeah, I hope that&#39;s not how it happens!
