Anna Katterjohn is the book review assistant and edits the magazine reviews column and performing arts book reviews. She is quite proud of landing a relevant job with her BA in English from NYU. When she isn’t in a stupor from the hundreds of galleys in the LJ bookroom, she likes to read 20th-century American literary fiction, nonfiction on everything from hip hop to the cosmos, and maybe even a graphic novel or two.

Wooden Horse Publishing has been frequenly updated with new magazine tips for years. I can't speak to the quality of the paid database (which includes contact info, editorial calendars, etc. for over 2000 U.S. and Canadian consumer and trade magazines), but the homepage has tons of free blurbs on new publications of all types.

The four-hour season premiere of American Idol, which begins tonight and continues tomorrow, may spark Sanjaya's memoirsome interest in series tie-ins. The "people's idol," Sanjaya Malakar, has added his memoir Dancing to the Music in My Head: Memoirs of the People's Idol to the still-growing list of American Idol-related books.

Ko-Ko's Little List

November 19, 2008 | Link This | Email this | Comments (1)

Although not a library-friendly size or shape, Richard Suart and A.S.H. Smyth's They'd None of 'em Be Missed Richard Suart as Ko-Ko (distributed in the U.S. by Trafalgar Square) would make a perfect Christmas gift for all your musical theater–nerd friends.

Suart has played the role of Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner, and performed his "little list" song (often titled with its opening lyric, "As someday it may happen") since 1988...Read More
