Came across this sign outside a Starbucks on Yonge St., just west of Eglinton W. in Toronto. No, I didn’t have time to order an Espresso Patronum. But I love the illustration and the idea! 😀
As I mentioned earlier, my MiGwriters group is posting a series of interviews with our agents all this week. Up today: Ginger Knowlton of Curtis Brown (MY agent, woohoo!)

Scheduled to launch in Fall 2012, BookMentors.org is a non-profit that intends to use “micro patronage” to supply teachers, students, and librarian in high-needs schools with books. BookMentors.org is a place where you can give and receive books, as well as ideas. Teachers and librarians request, receive, and recommend books. . . .
