Very touching, also. I hope the take-out place at least had a dragon up for decoration. Wishing you a happy Chinese new year and clear path ahead--P. J.

I couldn't stand not knowing until twelve hours after everyone else knew, and I'm a nurse and can't look at a computer during the day, so I had a friend text me the results. I only asked for the Newbery winner and honors, but she kindly texted me all the ones she knew I was interested in (which is to say, everything, except maybe the Alex and Odyssey). I carried my phone in my pocket set to "vibrate", hoping I might have a few moments to check my texts in between patients, but it didn't happen. For over an hour, I felt my pocket BUZZ every few seconds and wondered "What is it? Is that the Barbie book winning the Sibert? Is it Crossing the Tracks getting a Printz Honor? Is it One Crazy Summer taking the Newbery?" I finally read my texts hours later, and didn't realize the Moon Over Manifest win was considered a big upset until I got home.Wendyhttp://sixboxesofbooks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
