That's WONDERFUL Amy! Go you!
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Woohoo, AmyLiz!
FWIW, a lot of books I thoroughly enjoyed got reviews in the C+ to B range at AAR--their reviews are detailed and idiosyncratic enough that the trick is to read between the lines, figure out the reviewer's taste, and decide to what degree I share it.

Oh, btw, my essay in English Journal will be published in November, and I just got approached to write an article about the transition from middle school to high school for another (far more regional, but still) educational journal. Kind of cool!

Because books.
Modest bow. Thank you, thank you.
The last week -- actually the last two weeks, and more -- have been so sucktacular, I thought posting good news would kind of anchor it time/space.

I do that, too. And I think my reviewer gives out a lot of Cs. I also think she wanted more mystery and less romance, which I thought might be the problem with the title, but I clearly didn't get the last word on that one.
Off to actually try and finish the book that was due three weeks ago...

Kristin, that is lovely news! Is the English Journal article the one you posted in here about mailing the students' letters?

Yep, that would be the one. It's being featured in the "Snapshots" column.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
DUDES! Amy, that rocks the house!
