My book on the history of toilets is a finalist for a prize for "good science books [that] encourage children and young adults to turn to
science books, not only for information, but for enjoyment too".
I'm really pleased the panel considered my book enjoyable: I aimed for that.
And it's in good company:
I have no idea what happens if it wins--except they give me an airplane ticket and a hotel room so I can attend the awards ceremony in Washington, DC, aka Bedbug Capital.
(Ceremony? Like, I'd have to buy clothes to attend?)
I think I'd choose How to Clone a Mammoth, myself.

Wow! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I admit I'm chuffed.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! This book sits proudly on my shelf! Very deserving of recognition. Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteDEANNA: Thanks! I actually gave away all my copies;
ReplyDeletewhen I went to Duluth, I was tickled to see my friend had my book in her bathroom!
I re-read it, and truly thought it was enjoyable.
Well deserved, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou know I am proud of you!
ReplyDeleteThis is MARVELOUS. What a great honor, and how fun to see your book in the midst of that gorgeous poster! You are in fine company. Hugest, warmest congratulations, my friend!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, friends!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! I'm very excited for you!
ReplyDeleteThat's really awesome! Congrats! Talking about sewers/toilets was possibly our first conversation and moved you firmly to "Cool Person" in my mind. I need to get a copy of your book. Perhaps for World Toilet Day?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura!
ReplyDeleteJULIA: I don't even have a copy myself! I must ask for some more free copies (not sure the pub will provide them though!). If I get some, I'll give one to you.
Too late for WTDay, alas...
