I'll say it right now: The best Newbery list in decades.Read Neil Gaiman's account of "the call" at (Insert amazed and delighted swearing here).
I hope all my friends and family members who received copies of the book for Christmas appreciate their gift of books all the more today!
Did you see Neil Gaiman's tweets? They tell a funny tale - how he complained at being awakened, then posted a "nevermind" once he was alert enough to understand WHY he'd been awakened. And then, once the announcement was actually made, he did NOT delete his expletives on Twitter. And I found it to be awesomely funny.
