Apologies to all who tried to come here or elsewhere on our website this weekend only to be greeted with warnings of MALWARE. We quickly determined that this was a false alarm, but getting Google to drop the warning pages took some time and doing. (Who knew Google could thus hold one in its thrall?)
The Horn Book primaries complete, you can now look forward to endless commercials from Mr. Kincaid and Ms. Cavatica. Is this even a fair fight?
Also: I hope everyone is looking forward–for reals–to the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award and Horn Book at Simmons Colloquium weekend, September 28th and 29th. Cathie Mercier, Katrina Hedeen, and I are putting finishing touches on the schedule and finding hotels for everyone. Now I have to figure out how to talk about the theme: Look Out! The initial inspiration came from the idea that the nine winners and honor books were exceptional examples of . . . well, what’s the opposite of navel-gazing? As you can see, this introductory speech has a ways to go. Hope you will join me at the destination.

Could not love the picture for this post more. Chita forevah!
Roger and others–it doesn’t seem possible to register for the Simmons event without having to pay full price. There’s no way to click on the subscriber fee. Help!
Leda, I’m checking into this and will get back to you this afternoon. I think I have your email address. Thanks for the heads up!
