The word moot is an archaic term meaning "argue, debate, discuss." In early English history, a moot was a meeting to discuss local affairs. Moot comes from the Old English gemot, meaning "meeting."

Missing you
Author Anthony Horowitz tweets "In Bungay. The first copy of Crocodile Tears has just rolled off the presses and into my hot and sweaty hands..."
This bit of news made me so happy.
It occurred to me that I have missed Alex Rider. Odd to miss literary characters, but there it is. I miss Harry, and Hermione and Ron. Every once and a while, I find myself wondering how they are, what they are doing. Did they get a flu shot?
I have many series that I follow with interest but there are some characters that I feel very personally about, like I've spent time with them which, in a way, I have.
Hokey smokes Bullwinkle, as I was writing this a review copy of Crocodile Tears arrived at my front door. Oh happy weekend!!!!
Nice little video from Anthony Horowitz talking about the book. He has a secret door to his office. I've always wanted one of those.
