Announcements and some links!

Just a warning: in the next 24 hours I have delicious set up to send posts I’ve been tagging to my account through once more. If you’re new to these parts, it looks like this. I don’t have my feed set to “excerpt” (I assume it annoys people) so if you’re watching me you’ll see the entirety of these posts in your feed readers.

More stuff:

  • YA Connection! I missed it.
  • I posted about this in the Booksworm Carnival, but I think it merits another mention! Hero by Perry Moore to get Showtime treatment. The only Showtime show I’ve watched is Queer as Folk (which I loved) but their other shows get lauded often, so I am excited. It helps that Stan Lee is involved.
  • not_cynical and I are embarking on a journey to read and review Cable and Deadpool here. I’m not exactly sure it’s YA, but it’s FABULOUS (gaygaygay) so therefore it counts. I’m sure everyone will be excited about this.
  • Not a link or announcement, but boy do I want The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks to win the Printz. COME ON, PRINTZ COMMITTEE. You want people to talk about this book? I will argue with everyone for the next year over this title, free of charge. Pretty please? *SPARKLES*

HE CALLED IT WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON!

John Green called the him and David Levithan book Will Grayson, Will Grayson. It’s about two kids with the same name who haven’t met and then they meet and then their lives go in separate ways. THAT’S WHAT JOHN GREEN SAID!

…can you tell I’m excited?

@ Khy I AM SO GLAD YOU WERE THERE TO HEAR IT.

I THINK THIS CALLS FOR MORE EXCITED CAPSLOCK. *CAPSLOCKS EVERYWHERE*

Now of course, I want even more details. Come on, John Green, give me a video I can watch over and over and over like a creepy literary stalker!
