A few more fun links to get you ready for the weekend:

The one day conference, A Sense of Wonder: Stories of Nature, Science & History, at the JFK Library sounds pretty awesome.
A look at Judy Blume's books and their particular controversies.
Daniel Handler/Lemony Snicket is the master of the fictional author platform.
Lesson: it's okay to talk up your book.

A Q&A with Shannon Hale and a giveaway! Love that Hale/Austen combination.
