announcements: the archive

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*
 
goodbye to Paper Towns, hello to Twitter

The Paper Towns contest (in the entry above this) is almost over. I am pretty happy that people actually took part. Exciting! I think I owe most of this to Steph, who is awesome about spreading the word, so thanks to her.

I have acquired a twitter account specifically for this project at twitter.com/yafabulous. I’m not quite sure what I’ll post there yet. I have designs on including links to my personal reviews I do on my LJ, highlighting books and authors in my delicious archive that might otherwise get lost in the mix, and pointing out interesting discussions I might not add to the archive but that I still think deserve some attention. I will also natter a lot; I’m really good at tl;dr’ing for ever and ever.

I’ve also added a list of upcoming reviews/co-reviews to the sidebar. I didn’t realize I had so many going at once. Huh.

Now I am off to read more One Piece!
