The Tale of Despereux by Kate DiCamillo is being turned into a computer-animated movie, and they've announced the cast. It's a great book, so I'm glad to see it's getting a nice splashy treatment.

zeisgeist linked to info about the Delaware Book Festival, which I am most excited about. The always-fabulous zeisgeist will be appearing, and she reports that Chris Crutcher, Jordan Sonneblick, and Lola Douglas will be there, too. Yay!

I'm halfway through my re-reading/note-taking of Uglies, all part of the post I want to write about the themes of the Uglies trilogy. Hopefully, I'll be able to get something posted in the next few days.
