'Tis Wednesday!

Hello there, my friends!

Here are two Calls for Papers that I thought some of you might find of interest.

-- ( Call for Papers: Female Rebellion in Young Adult Dystopian Fiction )

-- ( Call for Papers: Ender's Game and Philosophy )

Speaking of science fiction, Librivox has just added an unabridged reading of Edmond Hamilton's classic The City at World's End.


Is everyone ready for The Hunger Games? Here I am, in front of the Mellarks' bakery (or the film set for it, at least). I waited and waited, but no baker's son ever threw me any bread. Ah, well...




I highly recommend Delia Sherman's new novel The Freedom Maze (you can read my review here). It's the source of my quote for the day:
"Why didn't any of the books mention that adventures were like taking a test you hadn't studied for?"
