The rest of the LBC winter nominees have now been revealed — including my tie for favorite, Rupert Thomson’s Divided Kingdom, which the lovely BookDwarf posts about very nicely at that link.
Exciting developments are in the works starting next week.
And the nominees are… Read More »
Slightly horrifying results (poor wooden Ione), but still amusement to be had:
Congratulations! You are a BRAINY BEAUTY.
The 80s teen film heroine you are most like is IONE SKYE from SAY ANYTHING. Your good grades and preppie style make you the classic overachiever. Still, you long to shed your good-girl image and have some fun, but are afraid of what everyone will think. May we suggest you find a kick-boxing iconoclast along the lines of JOHN CUSACK’s Lloyd Dobbler to show you that can make straight As and still have time for making out?

So Gavin pointed me in the direction of these beautiful photos by Christa Parravani. Some of them (including the photo of Mabel Osborne at left) will be in a hopefully book-length series of Spoon River photos. Just as delightful as the photo browsing is the assertion that the photographer is often mistaken for Louise Brooks — judge for yourself.
And tonight’s ep is:
Just Like Gwen and Gavin. Knowing he has let too much time go by, Luke (Scott Patterson) is still unable to tell Lorelai (Lauren Graham) about the existence of his 12-year-old daughter, April (Vanessa Marano), and he is thrown into a panic when April wants to hang out with him at the diner. When April and Lorelai both show up at the diner and begin chatting, April innocently explains that Luke is her father. Lorelai tries to be supportive, even offering to postpone the wedding date, but Luke’s reaction to this idea leaves her confused and hurt. Back at Yale, Logan (Matt Czuchry) takes unusual steps to win Rory (Alexis Bledel) back, and the newspaper staff rebels against Paris’ (Liza Weil) reign of terror at the Yale Daily News. Meanwhile, Stars Hollow holds its annual Winter Carnival, and Lorelai and Rory run a booth featuring their dog, Paul Anka, as a fortune teller. Sherilyn Fenn guest stars as Ana Nardini. Keiko Agena, Liz Torres and Sean Gunn also star.The episode was written by Daniel Palladino and directed by Stephen Clancy.
Great. A Daniel Palladino episode. (Also, didn’t he used to hyphenate like ASP?)

And the second nominee is announced. I really, really dug this one. I think more than many. Weather = Good.
(More discussion to come during discussion week.)

Dan Wickett announces the Winter LBC pick: Kirstin Allio’s fabulous debut novel Garner. Yay!
In other news, don’t expect more here until tomorrow. Ms. Link & Mr. Grant came for an impromptu visit and we are busy having fun and watching weird Russian movies.
According to Lulu Titlescorer, Girl’s Gang has a 41.4 51.4* percent chance of being a bestselling title. I’ll take it. (Via Andrea Seigel.)
*I didn’t see the proper noun option until I ran Roanoke. Whoops.
