Alas, it is Monday and I have a cold (again). On the upside, though, it’s Valentine’s Day week! And that means I get to talk books AND eat lots of chocolate in the next few days. So it’s not all bad!
Web Newberys (Recent Book-related Stories of Interest)

- 21 Books in January: What good can come from the flu? From Sherry at Semicolonblog.com, quite a lot actually. She read 21 books in January, reviewing quite a few young adult books. Thanks for putting your illness to work for us, Sherry, and hope you’re feeling better!
- Dear Mom, Thanks For Making Me a Reader: A daughter thanks her mother for all the many ways she taught her to love reading. Wish I had written a letter like this to my mom!
News
Tomorrow Janie reports on some historical kids’ books, including a book about Lincoln and one related to black history. On Wednesday, Emily will post a recent interview with Rea Berg of Beautiful Fee Books and Gina Dalfonzo of Break Point Youth Reads about what makes a romance story virtuous for teens. And following that, Janie will give us some insight on the books behind the new Beautiful Creatures movie coming out soon, as well as the summer debut, City of Bones. Should be a busy but profitable week, Lord willing!
