FAVE LINKEY-POO RIGHT THIS SECOND: If you can get through the preview to the actual dancing (which starts at about 1:20), this clip of Aaron Carter’s quick-step performance on Dancing With the Stars is pure magic. I had it on the DVR and watched it, like, five times back to back.

This past weekend I was in Cleveland (Cleveland rocks!) for the Great Lakes Independent Booksellers Association conference to sign books and, I gotta say, it was pretty cool. One of the highlights totally had to be meeting Lauren Myracle who has written a host of famous books like the “Internet Girls” series that includes TTFN and BFF, and other books like PEACE, LOVE, AND BABY DUCKS. I am super excited to be the proud owner of her newest book, LUV YA BUNCHES, which I can’t wait to read.

Lauren and I pretty much hit it off, and I’d be surprised if she doesn’t ask me to be the godmother of her next child. Well, okay, maybe we’re not that close. Yet. Here’s me and Lauren, clearly making a BFF pact.

One of the stories Lauren  told when we were sharing promise rings was how she’d been invited to speak at an Ohio high school and how she’d just found out that the principal had disinvited her. Yup. Turns out her books aren’t what the high school is looking for. Um, hello? How crazy is that.

Well, no worries, Lauren. We still love you, even if that principal doesn’t. Also, that blue book you’re holding looks AWESOME.

TTYL!
