- Beth Revis‘s Across The Universe just hit the NYT list at #7. MY BETHLING IS AN NYT BESTSELLING AUTHOR, Y’ALL. I am geeking out over this like you would NOT believe.
- The first 250 words of Always Read the Fae Print are entered in January’s Secret Agent contest over at Miss Snark’s First Victim. Comments are super nice and helpful! It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside yesterday. People rock.
- This means I can also go crit other people’s 250 words soon (which I plan to do right after I catch up on yesterday’s Modern Family) — I love critiquing.
- Always Read the Fae Print is fully overhauled to YA and enough time has passed since the holidays that I felt safe in climbing back on the querying horse. Nerve-wracking? YES. But I love putting my work out there. So even spending my days chewing my nails down to the bone makes me a little bit happy.
- This is my current TBR stack.
It’s a little big. Usually I despair at the sight of it — I won’t be able to get through these in a THOUSAND YEARS — but I’m so damn chipper right now that all I can think of is, “I’m going to be REALLY ENTERTAINED those thousand years.” (OK, I also think that I really need to pop by the Ikea soon because I’m running out of space, but that’s secondary.) - I have fancy book ideas. Many of them. Some old, some new. Some involve vampires. Some involve sleep paralysis. Some involve climbing. Some involve fictional TV shows. Only very few involve siblings, which is a nice change of pace for me. Thinking about them makes me happy.
Congrats to Beth… and my that is a pretty to read pile.
Isn't it just? Especially with the sun on it like that. *dreamy sigh* Can't wait to get through all these. It'll be glorious.
It amuses me how similar our TBR piles are.
Hee! Well, let me know if you have any recs
I just left Miss Snark's blog! Congrats on your offer of representation. Well deserved!
Aww, thanks! Everyone's been so nice over there, and then this happens… it's been a spectacular week
