Friends, if I wanted to be honest, I would say I have been in a reading slump all year long. I have read a whopping 46 books and various manga series, and I just marvel at all the other people reaching triple digits going, “that used to be me! O, sad bygone days where I used to READ BOOKS!”

I should probably count the fanfic I’ve been reading since tons of it often turns into me reading 50,000 word fics in one long stretch when I should be sleeping, but! BUT. I don’t really review fic, I squee over it so that’s right out AND ALSO most of it is Real Person Fiction with Adam Lambert and Sparkles (like this) and you know, I have a reputation to—oh wait nevermind, no I don’t I am totally a pariah! HELL YEAH ADAM/KRIS FOREVER. \o/

Meanwhile, I am not sure what’s wrong with me besides being fluctuating interests, various Life!Fail as well as attempts to go back to school and finish out my degree which is like trying to make a snowman in Miami during July (ADMISSIONS: FEEL FREE TO GET A GENITAL RASH AND BE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR DAYS). I imagine that I am filled with weird desires to read what everyone else is reading so I can talk about it with them, but if I am not interested, well! What am I supposed to do? I’ve acquired a bunch of books that are boring me! HILARIOUSLY TRUE STORY.

Also, Nerds Heart YA is an issue. Because I am going back to school this is going to be nigh impossible for me to host. I am very sad about this, but I thought I would put out feelers to see if anyone else would be interested in getting it together. It’s really not that much work—figuring out the books was the hardest part, matching books and readers so people get to read new books the second hardest, and making sure everyone read and posted on time the third. Last round we only had one issue, and it was disappointing but I expected at least one default, but it can be avoided with some EPIC WHIP CRACKING, I am sure. I am willing to walk people through things and be available via e-mail because by then I will have e-mail on my phone! And, you know, I don’t think that you have to be widely read to host this, because it is about finding new books and reading them. Because fuck guys, I am not widely read in YA. I just pretend to be, and also use big words.

So there’s that. Interested parties can e-mail me at ya.fabulous@gmail.com and if there’s more than one I am totally playing matchmaker. If there are zero, uh, well, Nerds Heart YA will be on hiatus until 2012 and we can host it amid shock and horror that I actually acquired a real degree. >.>

POSITIONS FILLED and the world rejoiced, etc, etc.
