So, this is not publishing related. In fact, it is not even book related! But I just wanted to mention that the Latin Grammy Awards are tonight. One of my fave Latin singers will be performing. Hooray for Olga Tanon. And one of my fave multi-lingual singers is nominated. Yay for Laura Pausini! If you are a fan just wanted to remind you about the show. I think it is on Univision again this year.

There is a lot of talk in the publishing industry. Who is the next JK Rowling? That is what people are asking. Some are saying that it is Stephenie Meyer. She is the author of Twilight. Others are saying it is Christopher Paolini. What do you think?

This is totally not related to books or publishing at all. So feel free to skip it. Did you catch the SNL VP debate skit? I knew that Tina Fey would be back playing Palin. And there was the surprise of Queen Latifah playing Gwen the moderator. Man, Tina Fey is just to freaking funny. And she looks so much like Palin when she does those skits!
