Well, let's just say I owe all of you big time!
That's right, I get to be one of several guest bloggers at the BookNinja site, which is not only a fabulous books and reading blog, but is also masterminded from Canada. That's right! My dream of being Canadian moves one step closer to fruition!
Thank all of you so much for your votes! As I told George, the editor at BookNinja, this is way better than my eighth-grade student council run, which ended in tears (but also, thankfully, a much clearer understanding of my social standing, or lack thereof, which actually made it a lot easier to get through high school). I don't know all of the details yet but we'll get to run amuck at the BookNinja site from July 2 through July 16.
I would say I will endeavor not to let the quality of Citizen Reader suffer, but let's face it, me and "quality work" have never been in the same room together anyway. (Ah--and there's the payoff in doing mediocre work and keeping everyone's expectations low!) I'll still be here, though.
Now, for the rest of the weekend, as another fine Canadian citizen would say, "Keep your stick on the ice. We're all in this together." And thanks again.
Wow is right. I'm thrilled for you and I've never even read BookNinja (will now of course).

Thanks, PopTart! I'm pretty excited.
And hey--have you read Stacy Horn's memoir (see posting below)? I thought of you while I read (and loved) it because you're the one who turned me on to "The Restless Sleep" in the first place.

You deserve it! Rock on.

P.S. That was hands down your best post title ever.

Just read your review today and put the Horn book on hold. I didn't realize she was the Restless Sleep author. Thanks for the rec.
