this week's episode starts with the news as usual... with a brief interlude about emily's body hair.<br />
then proceeds to cover the usefulness of pinterest before diving into a tailspin of a bunny trail concerning the words "genre" and "YA"<br />

<div>
in this week's episode, there is no news. mostly because vic spaced out on it...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
moving on!</div>
<div>
what we DO have is an awesome interview with author Kendra Saunders.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.kendralsaunders.com/sitebuilder/images/IO_cover_front_final-339x509.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.kendralsaunders.com/sitebuilder/images/IO_cover_front_final-339x509.jpg" width="213" /></a>she self-published her debut novel INANIMATE OBJECTS, a "dark and glittering novel of artists and magicians, muses and immortals. At the heart of the story is Leonidas Bondi, a charismatic young artist who falls under the watchful gaze of Matilda August. Matilda has been a patron to the stars for hundreds of years, but this fickle muse is more than a little taken with her new protégé, blurring her own lines of work and obsession. Providing opposition is Matilda’s son, Elisha, a moody figure who holds revenge above all else after he suffers a terrible wrong."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i was impressed with her vivid imagination and insights into humanity.</div>
<div>
i hope you enjoy the interview as much as we did!</div>

<br />
YAY!<br />
so, in this episode's YA NEWS segment, we discuss the one and only Neil Gaiman's commencement speech, The Writer's Voice competition, and Kate Hart's amazing analysis of 2011 YA covers.<br />
<br />
and then we move on to discuss book banning, challenging, and the banned books that each of us read in preparation for the episode. <br />
<br />
now, the important question:<br />
is it pronounced GUY-man or GAY-man... please educate us in the comments.<br />
<br />
AND don't forget to vote in the poll on the sidebar!<br />
<br />
to inform you as a voter, emily suggested these pics:<br />
