SubscribeI love Alice Sebold’s writing, and I thought The Lovely Bones was a truly innovative, poignant, and amazing novel. The trailer for the new movie by Peter Jackson actually gave me goosebumps. I can’t wait for this to come out.
We Gave Ourselves a Questionnaire
In honor of Shelf Awareness’s great questionnaires for featured writers—and in honor of the craziness that comes with recovering from San Diego Comic-Con and my lack of time to write a developed blog entry last week (and maybe this week as well)—I am filling out the questionnaire for your reading enjoyment.

Sense & Sensibility…& Sea Monsters? Love the Mash-ups

She Is Too Fond of Books and It Has Turned Her Brain
A few weeks ago, I posted on here and mentioned the “hoopla” with Gossip Girl and Maureen Johnson’s The Bermudez Triangle in Florida. My mention of it was more of a side note to the idea that adults CAN and SHOULD enjoy YA books just as much as YA do, especially with the host of [...]
Where the Wild Things Are
I love when movie adaptations of books have the potential to actually be good; I love it even more when the trailer gives me goosebumps.

It is not a brand new idea by any stretch of the imagination, but it certainly has opened our eyes to the fact that we are not alone. Turns out she had recently received an email from Lauren Baratz-Logsted discussing the pros of [...]

Drawing with Water
This is absolutely amazing. There is genius, and then there’s something beyond that:
The amazing Faith Erin Hicks

This movie looks absolutely amazing. Check it out:
The Meaning of “Baker’s Mark”
The name Baker’s Mark comes from a 15th century tradition of baker’s marking their breads with a unique seal that was “a means of identifying him for punishment if his bread were unwholesome or short of weight. If, however, a baker consistently made good bread, this same seal would naturally come to be associated with [...]
