Decatur Book Festival

For those of you in the Atlanta, GA area, I will be part of the Decatur Book Festival this weekend. I am very excited, not least because Jonathan Franzen will be the keynote speaker (will his new book live up to all the lavish praise? I hope so. I liked The Corrections, and just picked up Freedom yesterday). I’ll be speaking at the Children’s Stage this Saturday, Sept 4, at 4:00 pm. Here is a handy map to locate the Children’s Stage.

In other news, I’m back in the country and glad for it. Also, I’ve read Mockingjay. I can’t say much without risking spoilers, but I thought it was very good, and the ending made sense to me. When I closed the book, I thought that the characters had developed and resolved in ways that felt true. I guess if anyone wants to respond to that, we can take our spoliery conversation to the comments section.

Next on my reading list: either Tana French’s Faithful Place, David Mitchell’s new book, or Rita Garcia-Williams’s One Crazy Summer. I can’t decide!

Now, for your viewing pleasure…

Analine at La Lucho Libra Library in Texas has created a trailer for The Cabinet of Wonders. Thanks so much, Analine, for doing this, and for letting me share the video:

Also, an adorable photograph of Eliot driving a playground train:
