So, this is gonna have to be a short post for me seeing as how I've got a project to finish and physics homework to do, but I couldn't resist blogging today. That is because of the following: I was innocently logging into my email account to send myself something to print out later and what appears in my inbox but a Sarah Dessen Newsletter. Now, I signed up for her newsletter several several years ago when I first became obsessive about her books. However, she doesn't send them out very often; only about two or three times a year. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find one in my inbox this afternoon. Then, I opened it and what did I find? SHE'S COMING OUT WITH A NEW BOOK!!! It will be in store in June!! As you may have picked up, I was super excited to hear this and so I clicked on the link (I've provided it for you) and read the article about it in USA Today. I had no idea that they would be giving me a preview of the first chapter of the book, but USA Today, being the nice people that they are, provided that for us Dessen fanatics! And after reading that excerpt may I just say: June cannot come any sooner. It sounds fantastic and I'm getting anxious to read it even though it's like 8 months away from coming out. Funny, because I was just talking to my mother the other day about how if/when she came out with a new book, K or I would be the first to know and that if one of us knew, we would alert the other. Well, folks, it took me all of four or five minutes (the time it took me to read the excerpt) to get around to texting K in all caps and sending her the link. That's called fanhood.
Also, I would like to recognize Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson (recommended to me by K) as number 21 on The List of 55. It was a really cute story about a road trip and personal discovery and love and music (Man, Roger had great musical taste! I feel like Owen would approve). So it got five stars and if I had more time I would do a full rant, but I have to go, so you all should go get it and read it.
Read like your life depended on it,
M
