Thing the first:
I just heard from my wonderful, fabulous, amazing publisher, Hyperion Books for Children, that I will be signing Advanced Reading Copies of DON’T JUDGE A GIRL BY HER COVER at the Hyperion Booth (#118) at the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) convention on Saturday, November 22nd from 10-11 a.m.
So if you or a teacher you know is going to be at the NCTE convention in San Antonio this year, please come by, say hi, and grab an ARC.
(Please note that I’m not sure if they’ll have ARCs of GG3 at the Hyperion booth during the entire convention or just during my signing time. My hunch is that they will, but I haven’t heard that from the people in charge, so don’t bank on it.)
Item the second:
This isn’t really news so much as something that makes me happy.
The CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY paperbacks will be out on December 23rd! And look at the pretty cover with the pretty words “New York Times Best Seller”.
Does that make it official? Because it finally feels kinda official.
Don’t forget, the paperback will also contain the first chapter of DON’T JUDGE A GIRL BY HER COVER, so all of you who are itching for a hint will get a HUGE one December 23rd!
Take care,
Ally
