Alan Gratz’s new book, The Brooklyn Nine, got love from Kirkus. Hurrah!

Hurrah to Mitali Perkins, whose Secret Keeper comes out next week. If you are lucky enough to be in the Bay Area, you can meet her and hear her read at Not Your Mother’s Book Club. Lucky!

Speaking of NYMBC, they picked Sweethearts as one of their favorites of the year. Hurrah!

A hurrah of sympathy to the unidentified man hanging naked from a ski lift. Hurrah for hopes of remaining unidentified.

In related hanging-upside-down news, hurrah for not being 5’7″ and 110 lbs so that this doesn’t happen to me. 

Finally: snow is pretty and all, but not when you live at the top of seven blocks of hills. If this keeps up, I do believe I’ll be soon laying out some cash for studded snow tires. Hurrah.
