Trends in Publishing: Bird Watching

Childrens:




Middle Grade:

  2. BIRD NERD has a great cover! I have also loved the cover for HERE WHERE THE SUNBEAMS ARE GREEN ever since I first saw it. So colorful and sweet. It's really crazy how random elements like this trend. My only explanation has always been that the muse gets around. That said, I see so many bird silhouettes and prints and stuff now too (owls, of course, but even the hard graphic of a bird is something I see a lot) that I kind of wonder if that visual element played any part of the creative process. I always wonder about the little inspirations people probably take in without even being aware of it. Know what I mean?

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits.

I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed.

Post Downton Abbey Reading List

Downton Abbey is over (with a shocking and frustrating ending!) and now I'm suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I've got a reading list full of books that I hope will satisfy my post-Downton Abbey cravings and I thought I'd share what's in my pile and get suggestions for other after Downton reads. Here's what I hope to be reading this year (a mix of YA and adult titles):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A couple Julian Fellowes reads:                And a few re-reads:                    Edited to add: What's on your Post-Downton Abbey reading list?
