Re-upping this for HWA members: was such an honor to be nominated last year for non-fiction (for AMERICAN SCARY), and to be nominated this year for fiction would be a dream come true! (Plus, if you like fun, spooky middle-grade fiction, I think you might just like PRESS 1 FOR INVASION!)

thanks for this great list!!

100% agree he could seamlessly move from topic to topic. He had terrible views but was very talented.

I get the sarcasm here; I wonder: who do people think are the best talkers on radio/podcast, regardless of if you agree with their positions? I was once driving for several hours where all I could pick up on the radio was Rush Limbaugh; disagreed with him on everything but was struck by his talent

The funny thing is that in some ways this is actually ratatouille

Is Welcome to the Black Parade the Bohemian Rhapsody of the millennials, in terms of covers?

Just saw another comment from a teacher that a fifth-grader said, about PRESS 1 FOR INVASION, "This story has a lot of adventure and was exciting! I think other kids will love this book!”
These are the reviews that are the absolute, absolute best.

largely agree with this though might be interesting to assign with each of your own readings something thoughtful that disagrees with you/you disagree with

it made a great double showing with the execution of mary stuart (which I was also indebted to you for)! thank you!!

A brilliant idea!!

always happy to come back - I imagine the place has both changed and hasn't in 30 (!) years....
(I actually got to see the renovations to the Lowell House tunnels a few years back and gasped out loud)

next time you teach it!!
(and if you ever want me to come to visit the class, would be great to meet in person!)
and thanks for the book rec, too - going to check this out!

the maenad-like ripping apart and eating at the end...wow

thank you!! and thanks to you I showed the maniac barber in my history of horror movies class this term!!
