Over the last two weeks I’ve received some lovely books through the mail. So, I thought I’d take a moment to post a public thank you here, and spotlight what arrived. The first to arrive was an ARC of Random by Craig Robertson. This was sent to me from Simon & Schuster UK and is […]

I am going. Tonight. To the Smart Chicks Kick It Tour. If this text has not adequately conveyed the extreme excitement I am feeling, let me just say this… I am extremely and totally excited beyond what is probably rational for an adult going to a Young Adult author signing to be. But there you […]

September 15, 2010 by ·
One of my favorite authors as a young one was Christopher Pike. Every birthday, each Christmas, I’d beg for his books. My grandmother, indulgent lady that she was, would deliver each and every time. Some of my favorites were The Tachyon Web, Remember Me, The Immortal, & The Starlight Crystal. My absolute, 100%, favorite of […]
