School's called off today in Lincoln, due to snow.
I was tempted to take the day off, too, especially when I took a good look at the couch, the pillow, and the quilt.
I've been pulled into "The White Darkness" by Geraldine McCaughrean, this year's Michael L. Printz Award winner, for young adult literature. There's something perfect about reading a story set in Antarctica while the snow blows outside. Haven't gotten to the end yet, but I'm pretty well creeped out by "Uncle" Victor.
Got me thinking about characters who wear people down--like Charles Boyer in the movie, Gaslight. I'm looking for ideas of others from the world of children's and YA literature...who are they? And what triumphs over them?
