Thing the first:
My favorite book of the past year, THE DISREPUTABLE HISTORY OF FRANKIE LANDAU-BANKS is a finalist for the National Book Award!
Whoo hoo!
I totally called it.
So big congratulations to fabulous person, E. Lockhart! Also, big congrats to the other finalists!
Thing the second:
Tonight’s the night the contemporary authors take over Night Bites over at the Readergirlz Forums!
That’s right! If you want to chat with Maureen Johnson, Justina Chen Headley, or yours truly tonight’s your chance.
Just join the Readergirlz Myspace Group and be there at 9:00 Eastern, 8:00 Central, etc. etc TONIGHT, Wednesday, October 15th.
There’s really no telling what will happen. Seriously. I’m a little concerned that Maureen and Justina will figure out they’re way cooler than me.
It’s happened before.
Thing the third:
I am incredibly pleased to tell you all that I am keeping TWO of the pairs of walking/running shoes that I recently ordered because they both actually seem to fit.
I’ve been walking in both pairs for about a week now and I’ve been band-aid free that whole time.
It’s a very big day.
For those of you who are interested, both of the winning pairs are by Mizuno.
One pair is the Wave Creation 9 and the other is the Wave Inspire 4.
Of course, they both might turn on me tomorrow, but so far so good!
See you tonight at the Readergirlz Forum!
