Well, hey

[pegkerr]

My brazen hussy moment of shameless self-promotion for the day: sdn kindly let me know that Wild Swans made the 2005 YALSA list (Young Adult Library Services Association) for Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults - Fairy Tales. The nice little frisson of excitement this gave me was my ego-boo for the day.

blackholly, I see you're on the list, too.

Go me.

Edited to correct That's the list of nominations. Final list yet to be determined, and will be announced at the ALA Midwinter 2005, sdn notes. Still . . . a bit of good news for today, that was most welcome!

Yay! And Yay also for someone who uses the word "frisson," which is one of my favorites! :)

Go you! What a nice list to be on - there are some excellent books on that list. And The Wilds Swans is a very excellent book - it fits right in. You know, I've really got to reread it, one of these days.

Congratulations! (And well deserved, I might add.) You deserve some day brighteners after the past few weeks you've had.

Congratulations!

congratulations! will you continue your brazen-hussy exploits by posting naked short-haired pictures of yourself all over the internet?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Here's one where I'm almost naked AND short-haired!

[splagxna.livejournal.com]

no no no no. the *new* haircut. so that even though your family hates it, all your fans can tell you how chic you look!

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

I know. I was teasing. I'm going to try to take one with my webcam tonight, and then get it off to my webmaster, so hopefully it'll be posted tomorrow.

I knew you knew. We're smart that way!

Congratulations! Go you indeed.

Actually I've been meaning to say this for a while. I finally got my copy of Wild Swans and loved it, I haven't seen it since as it's been doing the rounds of my friends. One of them, doing her degree in English, tells me it has come up in her seminar. Your very popular in this corner of the UK.

Congratulations! I don't know if I'm happier for you, or for the lucky "young adults" who have read or will get to read your book because of the nomination!

actually, i hate to be a buzzkill sort of, but this is not the final list -- it's the nomination list. the final list will be announced at ALA Midwinter 2005. but this is a good start!!!

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's just fine, and I'm just as happy--although I'll go correct the entry.
