IT'S A NICE PLACE! <br />Also I felt the earthquake, and it's so funny, my brother, mom, and I are putting together this present my mom got, (which so far looks like a broken, deformed bike because some dude sat on it and squished it,) and my brother is fixing it. The I feel the quake and I say to my brother, "Moin stop, you're shaking the house." So it was really funny. <br />It'd be so fun to read an ARC book!!! <br /> Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11278217370979146102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-71712559655514925962013-05-24T06:46:56.583-07:002013-05-24T06:46:56.583-07:00I have never had an ARC of a book before, so this ...I have never had an ARC of a book before, so this will be really fun to read! =) I still have to go to school even though I want to stay home and read all day!

Remember when y...Oh, and speaking of <i>Killer Cruise</i>! Remember when you asked us to “Hit me with your best quote!” for the best shoes ever? (...That was almost a year ago, good grief, I have been lurking a long time.) Well, my brain automatically sang, <i>Hit me with your best quote! Fire a-way-ay!</i>. -- and then started shuffling through rock songs (because Casey has fun musical taste) to see what could be reworked Sammy-style, and...<br /><br /><i>These shoes are made for sleuthin’, and that’s just what they’ll do, One of these days these shoes are gonna sleuth all over you.</i><br /><br />It’s making me giggle because I’m not quite sure what action “sleuthing all over you” would correspond to, but the phrasing is hilarious.<br /><br />(Also Steph, if you still read this blog, I saw a comment in the archive saying you'd started a Sammy Keyes Master Playlist, and your blog doesn't exist anymore, but if you've still got a list lying around somewhere I'd really like to see it.)<br /><br /><i>...Come on, shoes.

It’s my sisterish’s favorite bookstore ever (the children’s section in particular), you should visit when you get a chance. Oh, also, I didn’t get to tell you two weeks ago, but I really enjoyed reading about your Seinfeld Introduction to Plotting. :-)<br /><br />I would actually rather wait until September for <i>Killer Cruise</i>, because if I got it now, January and <i>Kiss Goodbye</i> would be SO FAR AWAY.<br /><br />(...Say, does Minnesota happen to be on that list of 20+ states?)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098482630516206836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-49441960824015394442013-05-23T22:10:46.926-07:002013-05-23T22:10:46.926-07:00Bella Honeydew!

Plenty of ex...Aw, Gabrielle, I grew up in Virginia. Plenty of exciting stuff happened there. (Okay, not really... the mayor liked to pop into our elementary school a lot, and a local writer visited -- she wrote "The Witch of Pungo," about the witch-ducking of Grace Sherwood, which is a pretty cool true story. Oh, and we had a visiting poet who taught all the English classes for a few days one year, but I don't remember her name or any of her poems. And Colin Powell spoke at my mom's community college graduation. But none of my favorite authors ever came near -- well, not until I got to meet Richard Preston in college. Even Halley's Comet slighted us.)<br /><br />So yes, I agree, the East Coast is overdue for Wendelin Van Draanen (Memphis doesn't count). It still kills me that she was here in Atlanta, but the whole city was shut down.<br /><br />It took all I had not to beg on FB for any of my friends near SF or LA to go try to win me an ARC (er, win themselves one and lend it to me). Kylie, I hope you get to go. Maybe you can pick Yusa up on the way.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743674350647517445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-2799300801091607252013-05-19T21:24:00.899-07:002013-05-19T21:24:00.899-07:00I have no school on Friday!
