Open Thread: June 11, 2012–What’s New, Pussycat?

It’s easy, in the excitement of Book Expo America, to forget that the literary world keeps rolling on outside the Javits Center. When I’m there, I’m laser-focused on what’s happening at the show, but I’ve been one of those who watches from home, too, and I remember thinking, “Hey, there’s still lots of stuff going on out here!” So I ask you today: what did we miss last week? What’s new?

And what’s on your mind today?
