Biggest news this week is that MG author Shannon Messenger got another book deal with Simon/Shuster. This time for YA. We can't wait to read her books, and we're really, really digging the cover of her debut KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES (out October 2nd, 2012).

Here's Shannon tweeting about an author event (see, she's just like us):

Perhaps it's old news, but around this time last week the Prez was addressing the state of our union. And here are our favorite reactions:

What do warlocks sucking on eyeballs, floating mountains, and radioactive spiders have in common? Only possible with the imagination:

Funny, funny:

For as many fluffy tweets, there are these thoughts that thankfully float our way:

Aw, thanks so much for the shout out! :)
Hi Shannon! Sure thing. How exciting to know you will have books coming out for the next five years! We wish you lots of success and can't wait to read them!
I am SO dying to read The Disenchantments! Love the cover too.
Yay for being politically informed, imaginatively inclined, and humorously entertained.
