\nI\u2019m sending you to the Horn Book\u2019s<\/em> site today for a review I wrote of Julie Falatko’s<\/a><\/strong> very funny The Great Indoors<\/em> (Disney-Hyperion, April 2019), illustrated by Ruth Chan<\/a><\/strong>. The review is here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

I’m purposely keeping things short and sweet this week. In fact, I’m typing this mid-week, because my family and I are going to up and fly to Los Angeles this week in order to see my faaaaavorite musician<\/a><\/strong> (whom I’m sure you’re all tired of me talking about) perform at the Largo<\/a><\/strong> on Thursday night. Needless to say, I’m excited. (Again, I’m typing this before<\/em> the show, though you’ll be reading this after<\/em> it.) Sam really only plays in L.A. anymore, and I really wanted to see her live again (I saw her live in 1994 and then 2004, but that’s it!), so we decided to do it \u2014 a short, whirlwind trip. Sam’s shows really are quite memorable, and I’m especially excited that my daughters will get to hear her live for the first time. (I’ve trained them, like a Sam Jedi, in her melodic ways.) <\/p>\n

And my birthday is tomorrow, so this is pretty much the best gift EVER \u2014 to hear her and her INCREDIBLE band play again with my family there. I’ve been a fan of Sam’s music for about three decades now. <\/p>\n

I’ll be back on Sunday and look forward to reading your kicks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
