Michelle, wasn’t Boy Toy just incredible? And to think we know the guy who wrote it. Inside tip: he eats oatmeal every morning just like the rest of us.

Judy, thank you!! I’m so happy you loved it! Yay!

I was confused about what day it was, too…the Monday holiday threw me off. I (of course) read that new Evolution book…have you heard of it? I think it’s by someone named Robin Brande. Loved it and will recommend it to all my friends. Also am finishing up Old Souls–the Scientific Evidence for Past Lives…just okay, and have Started Fan Boy and Goth Girl, which Patrick lent me.

I read Boy Toy- great book, Barry! Wow.

Next I enjoyed The Shadow Thieves by Anne Ursu, the first in a fantasy series that I wanted to read because it seemed similar to the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Same premise: What if Greek mythology is real? And you’re a teenager/reluctant hero that must save the world?

Robin, I agree with Deborah about the shirts. Marketing idea: “Shirts by Josh.”

Diana, I wonder what your opinion was of Wicked Lovely? It’s on my mile-high “to read” pile.

Diana… that is so cool that you know that author! It was a super fun book, especially for a first book. I keep waiting to travel back in time and meet my second husband!

Laura, I fully recognize the signs of needing to finish your own book. We hardly read so much of other people’s books when we’re avoiding our own, hm?

Diana, don’t you love getting free books from your publisher? Such a nice beni.

Annette, you know I’m covert that way. Don’t really feel right talking about myself all the time (unless it involves what I’m eating, what I’m reading, big social flubs I’ve made, etc.).

Christen, good list! Nice to see you reading so much, even when you’re not required to for grad school.

Deborah, thank you!! How nice! As for the yellow t-shirts, those would be fun to offer, wouldn’t they? I also like some of the other ones in the book. I’d gladly wear “Brainiacs Unite.”

Kimmy, hurry! Catch up! Go! You have such a treat waiting for you in books 6 & 7!

Just to update you on my HP status… I’m now about halfway through book 5, Order of the Phoenix.

Thanks, Robin! LOL on the sex scene. I must say, I’m surprised at how many people have commented on that, but maybe it’s because I read so much romance, and I’m used to seeing love scenes in books?

Christen, I know the person who wrote Thirty Nights… she’s with my literary agency.

I read WICKED LOVELY this week. It was part of the package of books my editor at Harper Collins sent to me.

earth to rb, via kelley. i’ve been known to visit this blog from time to time (my busy, incredibly important schedule permitting) and to actually post the occasional witty/really funny/hysterical/ intelligent/poignant (okay maybe not the last one) comment.

question, why had i never heard of the pw interview before kelley stepped forward from the shadows of the lurk?

this is not info you are at liberty to keep to yourself rb–we own you.

I pretty much read the same old stuff this past week. I read a fun little romance called Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband. The ending was cool, when the time traveling woman was sent back to the future, only to come back to the past with her Special Recon brothers to help save her highland husband. =)

I read another romance that I did not care for. It was called Night After Night. It wasn’t too great.

I did read another Ranma 1/2 (I just finished volume 10). I love this graphic novel! Oh, and I read book 3 (Safe House) of Meg Cabot’s 1-800-Where-R-You series. These are great books, too!

That’s it for me!

I finished your book, Robin, and thought it just terrific! Having a middle-schooler, the topic was timely. The characters were engaging (that Casey is a sweetheart, I’ll put my order in for an older real -life him too), and the writing so nicely executed! I wish the science teacher was a ‘real’ person too because I would love to meet her! I was glad to find the parents gettin’ with it toward the end because I was getting a little peeved at them. I also want one of those yellow T-shirts: any plans to market those?
