We here at rachelledelaney.com are feeling pensive today, looking back on 2010 with a mixture of fondness and relief that we never have to live it again. Don’t get us wrong, it was a great year, all told — the year of the Vancouver Olympics, the third Hunger Games novel, and a grand trip to Ireland. The year of the vuvuzuela, the jegging, the macaron, and the iPad.
Of course, it was also a year of floods, earthquakes, cholera, oil spills, and the bonehead Canadian senate killing the climate change accountability act.
But on the bright side, it was the year of The Lost Souls of Island X, which just happens to be the perfect gift for that middle-grade reader you forgot was on your list, who gazed up at you with those big, glassy eyes on Christmas Day, wondering why you didn’t buy her a present. Shame on you. Better buy it now.
Anyway, we here at rachelledelaney.com are ready to leave 2010 behind and look forward to 2011. We expect it will bring great changes, infinite wisdom, and exciting journeys. We will keep you posted on this.
So we wish you all the happiest of new years, full of light and love and whatever makes you smile. (In our case, this involves making snow angels on a THREE METRE SNOWBASE! WOOT!)
Happy New Year, all!
