You know me--I'm the one who often comes baring book news. This post is no exception.

* I say this with love, as someone who has getting to ALA Midwinter as one of her major life goals.

I was talking to aged_crone and was telling her that I plan on going to the ALA conference in June. We had this exchange:

Me: I guess there's no need to buy a Newbery/Caldecott banquet ticket, is there? :(

aged_crone : I think you should buy a ticket for the Newbery/Caldecott banquet. Then you should stand up and bellow - "Philistines! A Conspiracy of Kings was the best, and should have won, and would have if you had any sense, taste, judgment, or intelligence!" Think how exciting it would be to be dragged bodily from the room, screaming imprecations!

...So, who's with me?
