Libba Bray sings Prince in a cow suit. (Would I joke about something like that?)

Fans of Libba Bray (A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, The Sweet Far Thing) have been anxiously awaiting her next book which is mere weeks away from hitting the shelves.

To celebrate the upcoming release of the Publishers Weekly red-starred Going Bovine (Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2009), the ever-hilarious Ms. Bray has taken cow videos to the next level. I laughed, I cried, I stood up and mooed... It was MUCH better than CATS.

Enjoy "Between the Covers" starring Libba Bray. And look for an upcoming review of Going Bovine. I can't WAIT to read it.

Brandon Mull Rocked the House!

Took the kids and some of their friends to see Brandon Mull at the Plano book-signing last night and he fielded some great questions from the audience. He was SUPER nice and took the time to sign stacks of books from everyone, talk earnestly to all the kids and even pose for pictures. The kids now have their noses stuck in his latest book "Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary" and look for a review very soon right here at Cool Kids Read.

Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox by Eoin Colfer -- Promo Video

I love me some Artemis Fowl-age -- great video for what is turning out to be a great book (not surprisingly). I keep waiting for an Artemis Fowl movie... anyone know any news about that?
