Rio thanks you all for the sweet birthday wishes, yesterday!
Long week. Yoga last night was really good, though. I finally did a decent half moon pose. Yay, me!
I’m really looking forward to this weekend. I’m going to a booksigning, then to see King Lear. Anyone got any cool plans?
In other news, it’s nice to see that people are still discovering Secret Society Girl, three years later. Hey, any time’s a good time to pick up one of my books!
“My Thoughts: This is not a particularly deep book, but then, most of what I read wouldn’t be described that way. What it is is immensely entertaining, with interesting and likeable characters.
“The one thing I was worried about going into this book was that the “poor little rich girl” trope usually doesn’t work for me. I was thinking that if I had to read about the troubles of some well-off suburban white kids I’d be rolling my eyes a lot. Thankfully, that is not the case. I found Amy quite likeable. She’s got the snarky first-person tone of most chick lit heroines down, but I especially liked that she wasn’t so much a raving bitch, and the book is written as if she’s looking back on her life, and she makes plenty of self-depricating asides. I liked her so much better for it.”
And then a totally unexpected surprise, but Rampant was picked as a top ten summer read by the New Jersey Newsroom:
2. Rampant by Diana Peterfreund. There is a lot of buzz about these killer unicorns. They are not for sissies. Bring on the girl power!
Sadly, they’ll have to wait another two months… 🙁 That’s right, boys and girls. Two. Months. W00T!
I’m designing bookmarks. What do you think?
