What's up this week?
M.T. Anderson has a new website. Love the steampunk feel.
Fiction still rules over digital at Bologna. (PW) Side note - Lenore reported the first TRANCE sighting at the Bologna Book Fair! Woot!
Turkey bans Number the Stars. (SLJ) I first became aware of the scope of the Armenian genocide when my dear friend and mentor Marsha Skrypuch wrote about it in her books Nobody's Child, Daughter of War, Aram's Choice and Call me Aram. Banning books will not rewrite history.
Runaway cyber tour begins today! (Meg Cabot's website)
Stephenie Meyer fans - her new novella is free to read for a limited time. (PW) Pencil in your reading time June 7-July 5!

Castle rocks! Just had to throw this in here. Any other Castle fans out there? Did the Boom! episodes slay or what?
