Ooooo.

I was flipping through the Spring 2006 Random House Children's catalog, and OOOoooooo...

• There's a sequel to Holes coming out in January.

• Alyssa Brugman and E. Lockhart have new books coming out, too. 

• And there's a pile of other books that I'm curious about -- especially King Dork, which just looks awesome.  Okay, it looks wicked awesome.
• Okay, I admit it.  I kind of also want to read Gender Blender, which is basically Freaky Friday or Summer Switch, but it's a boy and a girl that switch bodies, rather than the mother/daughter or father/son switches.

Looking through catalogs is like looking through cookbooks.  Know what I mean?  All the possibilities...  (Except with books, I just have to sit there and read them.  I don't have to cut up onions or anything.)
