- Podcast interview with Neil Gaiman at Just One More Book!
- Boy Toy by Barry Lyga is out in paperback. I liked the novel, but had some issues with the presentations of the female characters. Hilariously enough, the teacher was treated the best.
- Florida school attempts to block GSA: if they won’t allow GSAs in their schools books with GLBTQ characters will suffer. Visibility, visibility.
- Article about David Levithan. Dude is successful. I am trying to figure which solo book by him I should read next, since I’ve done Boy Meets Boy (okay) and Wide Awake (argh). Suggestions?
- Sarah Dessen reads from Along for the Ride.
- Yes, please. YES, YES, YES PLEASE. Think of the wank, New Moon people! The drama! The whining! Money in your pocket.
- Some reviews I’ve bookmarked:
- Graceling – Krisin Cashore: I am honestly puzzled. I haven’t seen many people, if anyone, complain about a girl deciding not to get married in reviews of this book. I wonder if the next review I see for this book will say the same thing. Also, the comments here confusing—one of them seems to suggest that a feminist undertone being intentional is bad. Well, I’m bemused.
- The Explosionist – Jenny Davidson: This book has been on my to-read pile for ages. Every time I see a new review of it, I want to move it up my list.
- Something, Maybe – Elizabeth Scott: I got this book last week, but since I have some other obligations I let a huge Elizabeth Scott fan at work read it first. She was amazed over the mere idea of the ARC. XD Of course, after this review I wish I had read it before handing it over.

=0 THANK YOU FOR THE ARTICLE ABOUT DAVID LEVITHAN.
Obviously my stalking skillz are getting a little rusty since I didn’t find the article first.

@ khy I think I found it by following the PW blog feeds, which are full of things that don’t interest me most of the time. There are gems, though, you just have to be very patient. :D
