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.
"There are 0 people in the U.S. with the last name Makhijani." What about my grandparents, parents, brother, cousins, etc. D'OH!
"There are 0 people in the U.S. with the first name Pooja." Another complete falsehood. Pooja is the list Jennifer or Melissa of Indian names. I know at least a dozen Poojas.
According to this site, there are 8 people with Jay's name, Robin is the only person in the whole country with her name, and Eve isn't alive.
ReplyDeleteI'm not alive either!
ReplyDeleteThere are 1,000,000 Nancys in the U.S., but there are NO people in the U.S. with my last name. I need to talk with my parents about this.
There are no people with my last name, either. I checked out my maiden name. That came back with a big fat zero, too!
ReplyDelete499 for me. Fab.
ReplyDelete6.

3 people. I wonder where the other ones are.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm a statistical impossibility as well--and my husband's large Catholic family doesn't exist. What fun!
ReplyDeleteI;m glad to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't exist!
ReplyDeleteWhat will I tell my kids???
Zero for me as well, which seems unlikely since I've had my name for quite some time now.
