We had some incredibly gorgeous and life-giving spring weather last week. Windows were open. Porches were sat upon. Spring cleaning plans were made. And then…another dump of freezing cold and snow. Boo. I’m so over it. I have things to do, people! And I can’t possibly be expected to do them when it’s so gray. Bah.
On the up side, I just found out that Story of a Girl made the International Reading Association’s Young Adult Choices list, which is pretty great. Thank you, IRA! And I got my first fanmail for a foreign edition – a girl in Belgium wrote to me about the French translation. Between that and the IRA, I’m feeling very international today. If only I could be in a foreign country right now. A warm one.
Over at the Teen Fiction Cafe, we’re blogging about fashion this week. Today I posted about my love/hate relationship with What Not to Wear.
It is now time to curl up with some tea and a movie.
