So I saw my friend Stephanie Yost in the library yesterday. She mentioned that seeing updates to my blog or Facebook have reminded her that she hadn't yet sent me book titles for the list I'm compiling for my presentation at a reading conference (see web sidebar) next week.
The thought occurred to me that if Stephanie was still thinking about sending me some titles, a few of YOU might feel the same way. . . .
So, one last time. YES, I'd love more titles!
In summary, I'm compiling a list BY MOMS FOR MOMS of their absolute favorite books for kids and teens. Not just books you and your kids kinda like -- books you and your kids ABSOLUTELY ADORE.
I have a great list so far, but it could be even better. If YOU haven't contributed, it's not complete!!
BTW, Stephanie sent me a fabulous list today. She's a Rock Star!
Send a few titles my way and you'll make my Rock Star List too.
Lucky, lucky you!!
I'll provide the final list (along with names of all the Rock Star Contributors!) once it's finished.
I'm leaving in 8 days and would love to wrap up this list by the end of this week. You see, I have a date this weekend with my 16-year-old daughter Kirsten to take me shopping. I desperately need help choosing something to wear to my presentation, and my fashion-ista daughter is just the person to help me. A new outfit has been a long time coming for me, and I want to have time to find one!!
Thanks and Cheers and Happy Book Title Picking!

She is a rock star. Of lots of things. I have also been meaning to send you lists. Because I really love childrens' literature. I'm hoping you still use your gmail because I have wayyy too much to write in a comment box.
But I do want to comment here that one of the things I enjoy about your blog is that I later will sometimes see your piece in a slightly different form, in another spot (such as ksl). It is really fun for me to see your editing process and to see how you change things. For example, changing Kirsten's "sports bras" into "gym clothes". But other changes as well, structure or content or what have you. Since I appreciate good writing, it's helpful for me to see how you do it.
