Enjoy the last day of 2013 and best wishes for the New Year

Scholastic is kind enough to include me on its mailing list — given the dearth of reviewed books this year I’m not sure how long that will last.  Their holiday card features a beautiful Kazu Kibuishi drawing of Christmas with Harry Potter. Best wishes to everyone for the new year — I find it hard to believe we’re moving from 2013 to 2014 (these still sound like science fiction years to my 20th century born ears) but there it is.
