If you are interested in upcoming picture books, don’t miss the latest installment of Coming Soon: 2017 Picture Books Part Fourteen over at Mile High Reading. A lot of good looking books, (that Suzy Lee book jumped out to me).

I have seen Ludacris in concert (granted, I didn’t intend to – he was opening for Outkast at the Fox Theater in Detroit in 2000). I know his music, yet I think I like this better than any of his songs.

Sorry for that burn Luda, but I have to speak the truth.

    Wait, Wonderstruck is being directed by Todd Haynes?!?!?! How did I miss that? I’m so much more excited now. Hoping he brings the unnerving pathos of Safe and boldness of Superstar.
