2009: the year I stop whining and start this effing manuscript. FOR REALS.

I have tons of YA reviews on my LJ and I’ve been slowly reworking them and moving them over here. I’m debating a few, like Eclipse, for fear that if I cross post it the crazy fangirls will find me, somehow locate my address, come to my apartment wearing black Twilight t-shirts with RPattz plastered across the front and misspell me to death while sparkling with very threatening glitter. We’ll see.

The Cybils finalists have been announced. I am not surprised by the nods to The Graveyard Book, Graceling or The Hunger Games (I have 34 reviews of that one saved, so yeah, no shock here), but the others were interesting. I’m just glad The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks made it; I’m hoping it will go all the way. In the mean time I’m going to spend time writing questionable fanfic for it because E. Lockhart taunted me and then just…just ended the book! AUGH.

I have been “in” the book community since June with a proper journal instead of a very restrictive livejournal. It’s been really nice connecting with other readers who understand the desire to blog about every book possible. Thanks to the seven people following me (according the feedburner) and here’s hoping you don’t all leave when I start sending my link dumps through again, full of reviews reviews reviews.

I did my yearly wrap up over here, which I would cross post but am too lazy for. >.>

lol. I hope the fangirls don’t find you.

I definitely do understand the desire. And I’m a subscriber! I confess I had been lurking for a while, but I thought that “don’t be afraid to actually interact with people you find awesome rather than just admiring them from afar” would make a good new year’s resolution :P

@ Nymeth LET’S HOPE NOT. If they ask you, tell them I moved to Mars. >.>

Oh gosh, you thinking I’m awesome is so weird! We’ve just been admiring each other from afar. Dewey always lectured me on not being afraid to talk to you. I should have listened to her, I see. ;)
