YOUR WHAT HURTS?
STATUS: Up too early.
FAVE LINKEY-POO RIGHT THIS SECOND: This one’s from Jess, the queen of fab links. It’s David Hasselhoff (er, The Hoff) singing “Hooked on a Feeling.”
So, um, two posts for the entire month of November pretty much blows. But I had good reasons. I traveled oodles (New York, Green Bay, Myrtle Beach) and then it was pretty much Thanksgiving. Plus, my second round of edits are due December 10 and I’m sprinting to the finish line to try and get them done. Arg. I suppose maybe it’s a blessing we had a crazy winter storm last night. Now I’m stuck indoors, so I should make good use of being stranded and get my laptop and red pen out.
Anyway, I did manage to read two really great YA books this month. PANTS ON FIRE by Meg Cabot made me laugh out loud and it was a great story, and THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER by Sarah Dessen was gorgeous. I can’t recommend it highly enough. And mucho thanks to my sistah Ellen for being the one to get them in front of me. So, if you’re looking for gifts to put under the tree for that special YA someone in your life, there are two good ones.

Hey lady,
Would either of those books be good for my 12-year-old niece?

Is this “Madeline Jr.”? If so, I think PANTS ON FIRE might resonate with her sharp funny side. There’s also a fabulous book called A FRIEND AT MIDNIGHT that might be an easier read for a 12 year old. The author is Caroline Cooney. Also, if she hasn’t read DAIRY QUEEN, you should totally get it for her. Catherine Murdock is the author (sister of the woman who wrote EAT, PRAY, LOVE).
