Overheard at Barnes and Noble:
Teenage Girl, "I am so sick of fantasy!"
Her two friends were trying to be supportive, but didn't seem to agree. We were leaving, so I didn't hear what else they said.
Food
for thought: there wasn't much fantasy on the table they were looking
at, but some of the covers looked like fantasy covers. Maybe she wasn't
sick of fantasy so much as sick of the sameness of covers or or that
fantasy is being marketed more with Harry Potter finishing up this year
and the movies that are coming out that are based on fantasy novels.

bookstore conversation
Author/illustrator Stephanie Ruble has been making art ever since she could hold a crayon, and making up stories since she learned to talk. She's currently working on new picture books, images for her portfolio, and drawing art for unusual holidays. Thanks for visiting!
