You came, you saw, you voted, and you celebrated the possibility of Sexytimes for Turnip - now it’s time to proclaim Teh Winnah! With over 600 votes, the winner of the contest is The Mischief of the Mistletoe - Pudding Edition: This cover was, if I understand the email correctly, hand-drawn by Joyce, who has mad talent. Congratulations, Joyce! How excellent is that cover? I’d totally read that—and we all will, soon enough. I have heard tell that Lauren Willig sequestered herself in the Chamber of Turniptemptation, and will be gifting us and readers everywhere with Turnip’s missing scene. We…

This will be fun! Behold the entries in this weekend’s LOLibrarian contest, submitted by readers, librarians, and all those capable of Photoshop shenanigans. Voting will be conducted for the next 24 hours or so, and the winner receives a $25 gift card to the bookstore of his or her choosing. And librarians, as usual, get mad props and high fives and the people’s ovation and fame forever.
Hey! Here’s an idea! Let’s have the NFL players and the librarians trade salaries for awhile? Heh.

In 2009, I went to Durham, NC, for a Bosoms book event organized by Jennifer Lohmann of the Durham County Public Library.
