I just went to yours and read the Roethke poem, lovely and sad. Thumbs up also on the credit crunch cartoon and the various alerts from Einstein -- I said in an earlier comment that my to-read pile had certainly grown after the conference; the RSS feeds are stacking up, too!

So glad to know that you enjoyed Empress, and I hope you like Rules too! (I'll have to thank Kira the next time I'm at Children's Place.) Going to Kidlit has certainly increased my reading pile -- I just put Ten Cents a Dance on hold. :) On reviewing: print reviews are certainly also still important to librarians making purchasing decisions. I wonder if anyone out there gets to buy books for a library collection based on positive online reviews? Right there with you on the anti-authoritarianism. And yes, I hope Laini sets up that first get-together soon! :) Hey Chris! So glad to know that you enjoyed Empress, and I hope you like Rules too!
