Thing the first:
I realized over the weekend that it’s been a year now since I was standing outside the ballroom of the Kansas City airport Marriott when my agent called to tell me that you guys had made CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY a New York Times bestseller.
I’ve been a New York Times bestseller for a year.
It’s a pretty bizarre fact to tell you the truth.
Nice. But bizarre.
Thing the second:
Don’t forget that the Readergirlz “Books with Bite” celebration starts TONIGHT over at Readergirlz Myspace forum.
So go check it out and if all possible you should sit in on tonight’s chat with Coe Booth, An Na, and Mitali Perkins.
Thing the third:
If you like good books (which I do) and things that are scary (which I don’t) I’ve been told you can do no better than Lauren Myracle‘s new book, BLISS (recommended for ages 14+).
Please note that I have not read BLISS. I will not read BLISS. Because I do not enjoy having nightmares and jumping out of my skin every time a tree limb blows against the house.
Seriously. When I was a kid Scooby Doo gave me nightmares–Scooby-freaking-Doo.
So I will NOT be reading BLISS.
And since I won’t read it I think all of you non-scaredy cats should to make up for my complete scaredycatness.
I won’t even watch this:

I’ll link to it…but I won’t watch it!
See. Told you I was a scaredycat!
