Miscellany

*Check out Color Online's latest Women Writers of Color blog post featuring Filipino Italian American children's book author Dorina Lazo Gilmore. Dorina is the author of Cora Cooks Pancit. (Pancit!!!)

*Don't forget about Color Online's week-long book discussion of the YA novel Shine, Coconut Moon by Neesha Meminger. (Neesha Meminger was born in India, grew up in Canada, and now lives in the U.S.!) The discussion starts next Friday, March 19.

*Thank you so much to Angel of Story on a Page for giving me the Beautiful Blogger Award. I'm now supposed to say seven things about myself and pass on the award.

About those seven things... Ask me questions in the comments section! I really don't know what to say right now. :o) So ask me any question. I'll pass on the Beautiful Blogger Award to these Asian YA book blogs/bloggers:

Between the Lines (Bangladesh)
Dissecting Perfection (Pakistan)
LiyanaLand! (Singapore)
Serenehours (Vietnam)
