Children's literature is not for the weak. It is a ruthless cutthroat business with lots of gnashes of the teeth. Children's librarianship, in contrast, is a sweet sweet ride. Now you can hear me as I growl, gargle, and kvetch my way through news, reviews, and interviews. Kidlit podcasting = scary new world.
We're watching the dvd of Taken, which is lots of fun, but the voiceover of Dakota (the veteran one)is driving me crazy. I can just see her spinning away on the aleithometer (sp?), intoning about the future of the universe and putting Will into a coma.
True. But even now she's still too young. Plus she'll have to portray Alice In Wonderland, Mary Lennox, Harriet the Spy, and every other female in children's literature as quick as humanly possible before the ticking clock of puberty hits her over the head and effectively ends her career.
