Happy New Year!
I will forever be a sucker for January 1st. I've always been a resolver. I even managed to fulfill one of mine for 2011 -- keeping a gratitude journal with five entries for each day. I also managed to get married on Jan. 1, 2008, so happy anniversary to me.
Obviously, I love new beginnings, fresh starts, and the idea of renewal.
This year I'm hoping to renew my efforts to write, read, and publish in the realm of children's lit. It brings me great joy and energy to read well-written books, and thanks to my mom's gift of some bookstore gift cards, I can indulge myself. I'm hoping to attend the book festival at the University of South MS because (gasp!) Jane Yolen is receiving a medallion! I HAVE TO GO! Jane Yolen, people!
I might even sign up to be a giver on World Book Night (thanks to Jana for the idea!)
Do you have any bookish resolutions, or recommendations for me?
Happy Anniversary, Mark! xoxoxoxox
