Posts on carnivals

After ten days back in the States, I'm still playing catch-up. I read a couple of really fun books this weekend that I'm planning to post about, but in the meantime, here are some links worth following!

The May Carnival of Children's Literature is online, thanks to Melissa Wiley of Here in the Boggy Glen. Enjoy highlights from the Kidlitosphere's past month of posting. Add some new blogs to your blogroll while you're at it!

This weekend saw the launch of Guys Lit Wire, a new blogging effort spearheaded by Colleen Mondor at Chasing Ray. Colleen and a couple dozen other kidlit bloggers will be posting daily with book reviews and other news of particular interest to boy readers and those who work with them.

Finally, the Summer 2008 issue of the Prairie Wind, the SCBWI-Illinois newsletter, is up with my article about Print Library Resources for Authors. It's a follow-up to my Spring article about Digital Resources and focuses on public library resources that should particularly interest, but are not necessarily familiar to, children's book authors.
