As I am writing this newsletter, I am preparing for a quick trip down to Charlotte where GraphicNovelReporter.com is co-sponsoring an event at the American Association of School Libraries tonight. In what I see as a version of reverse Pictionary (which I am very bad at!), a group of graphic novel creators are going to be drawing on the spot based on scenarios that are given to them by the audience. It sounds like a lot of fun, especially to a girl who cannot draw a straight line with a ruler.

It feels like summer just ended, yet here I am already making a list of things I need in preparation for Thanksgiving. Seriously folks, is it just me, or did October fly by? While autumn is beautiful in the Northeast, with it comes the waning hours of daylight and the certainty of colder weather in the months to come.

As I write, I keep hearing the theme song from "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" in my head. Yes, the countdown to the annual sugarfest is on. Update: There is no tiger print fabric available in our area to create a Hobbes costume for Cory. I know since I searched for it for three hours last Saturday. I came very close to buying an orange prison jumpsuit costume in an adult size and altering it to fit him and plunking stripes onto it, but instead I picked up a black sweatsuit and some orange and white felt for what was going to be an intense craft project.
Do you experience "book guilt" if you haven't read a book that everyone else seems to have read?

Name up to three books published in the last decade that you have not yet read that you have “book guilt” about not reading.
