This time last Friday we were flying up to Sydney for our PARTY (more photos on our facebook page). This time THIS Friday we are preparing a list of excellent stuff and interesting items:
1) The Mothership has a beautiful new website design. It's clean and spacious and easy to navigate and quick to load. www.allenandunwin.com We think you should go to there*, look around, put your feet up, make yourself at home. While you're there, you should check out the beeyotiful Alien Onion linky button right there in the left-hand sidebar. How cute is it? We are well pleased.
Big cheers for everyone involved in the remaking of the website. It is a Known Fact that cockies fly bettter with new plumage.
2) If you are a fan of either Lois Lowry or Scott O'Dell (Author of Island of the Blue Dolphins. See item number 1 on this list.), then you should go and read Lois's lovely letter on Amazon. (You'll need to scroll down the page a bit.)
3) There is MUCH excitement in the House as we eagerly anticipate the welcoming of Joss Whedon into our fair city as a keynote speaker at the Melbourne Writers Festival.
4) And speaking of our fair city and its festivals of genius... Quick, quick, snap up a ticket for Animation Shorts 1 at MIFF where you can see the short film of Shaun Tan's The Lost Thing. A thing of beauty it is.

5) The Twilight Saga: Eclipse as told through lolcats. Entirely too too good. (via Bookshelves of Doom)
6) Speaking of cats. Look at this bookstore in Venice**...
*Unless, of course, you have just come from there. In which case, hello and welcome! Lovely to see you.
** Onion 1: 'Oh did I mention I was just in Yoorup? *carefree laugh* 'And there was--'
Onions 2-11: 'Dear colleague, enough now. Shhh. Ssshhhh.'

That room full of books is my aim in life! Wonderful!
It is indeed a linky button of rare beauty on the A&U home page. Perhaps it would be even better if you could click anywhere in the image, rather than just on the words?
I was here some weeks ago, on my way to another bookstore.
Venice is books, among other things...
Like cats ;-)
