- Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast » Seven (Give or Take) Questions Over Breakfast with Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm—Wonderful interview with BABYMOUSE creators Jennifer Holm & Matthew Holm. Fun & fascinating questions. I met Jenni at Comic-Con last summer. She’s a gem. Rilla makes me read (sing) BABYMOUSE: THE MUSICAL to her practically on a daily basis.
- Top 100 Children’s Novels (#85-81)—A Fuse #8 Production—Betsy Bird has begun posting the results of her Top 100 Children’s Novels poll. Loads of fun. Massive reading binge to be sparked here. Can’t *I* get snowed in for a while?
- BLDGBLOG: A bulge in the floor now 100 feet high—”It was thus amazingly interesting to read that no less than 1,799 earthquakes have occurred beneath Yellowstone since January 17, 2010—a so-called earthquake swarm.”

• And this one’s for Helen, who noticed the photos of a finch stealing a sip from our hummingbird feeder. This little guy amused me for a good half hour last week, the way he kept sipping and then taking surreptitious looks around, as if the other finches would never let him live it down if he* got caught drinking the hummingbirds’ koolaid.
* I say “he,” but I’m guessing. He’s a male house finch, yes? I admit I have a hard time telling the house finch and the purple finch apart.
