Let’s get the week started with lots of good links:

• CS Lewis to get a place in Poets’ Corner at Westminster Abbey.
• Excellent interview with Meg Rosoff. I love this advice in particular: “You’re not trying to write a best-seller, you’re trying to write a book that resonates, that really breaks glass.”
• Readings and public speaking get me nervous, but I like this piece of advice: “It’s not about you. It’s about them. Think about what your audience wants, and what you have in common with them.”
• How many of NPR’s 100 best-ever YA/children’s novels have you read? (I’m only about halfway.)
• “Please help me, Dear God, to be a good writer and to get something else accepted,” and other prayers by Flannery O’Connor.
• Seriously, does anyone not want to slap Amy March?
• Standing up for the teenage girl.
• Reason #293 to go back to London–book benches.
• I don’t know that Neville is the most important person in Harry Potter, but I freaking love this character.
• Behind the scenes of some beloved children’s books.
• So agreed on this list of things I wished I’d known about publishing.
• Last night I saw Catching Fire. It. Was. Amazing. EW rounds up some of the big book-to-movie changes (overall good choices).
