Well Done, New York Times Best Sellers!
This is the time of year that Talia and I are of the busier of the busy bees (maybe that's why we're buzzing so much lately??) and we end up missing some of the totally rad week-to-week Macmillan excitement.
So when Talia paused for 1/23 of a second to sip her coffee this morning and glanced at The New York Times Book Review Best Sellers list for May 27, she did a double-take and then called me in to talk about how many of our awesome books are on the list.
We high-fived about it.

Happy Monday, my plucky librarian friends!
It's time for another Monday Fun Day recap of awesome tidbits we didn't get to chat about last week.
- First item of business is the cover unveiling for Amanda Hocking's Trylle trilogy (see above)! Amanda is quite taken with these fancy covers and we are, too! The series will be released in early 2012 (each including never-before-seen Trylle short stories) and we expect high demand so be prepared.
- Congratulations are in order for all the 2011 Hugo Award-winners! See the full list of winners and nominees here.
- If the excellent reviews didn't convince you that Amy Waldman's THE SUBMISSION is something special, then maybe the Nancy Pearl stamp of approval will: see her tweet here.
- In contest news...
Bryan Kratish of the Millhopper Branch Library in Alachua County won The Omen Machine Awesome Stuff Giveaway!
Also, before I left for vacation I promised you a beachy prize pack giveaway upon my return, but I've failed you by waiting so long to give you the details. Forgive me! I will post the contest this afternoon, so check back.
Until then, look at this:
