Duh! Congrats! I passed my copy on to Missy, the 15 year old daughter of my friend <a href="http://suzemusic.net" rel="nofollow">Suze</a>, and apparently Missy blew through it in less than a day. I think that says something right there. And Suze has decided that she's next in line for reading it! Well, of COURSE they had to pick your book. Duh!

It's research (*cough*). Okay, I watch it because I get hooked on teen soap operas--and since those people are nothing like me or anyone else I know, it's like a sociology experiment for me. Do you think people like that really exist? Liz, you said it about feminism. Write on! Thank you, Kelley! Sarah, if you click on that MySpace page for the Amelia Bloomer Project, you can see their slide show of the covers of the books on this year's list. I don't know when they'll post the official list, but you can look there in the meantime. Dylan, I watch Gossip Girl, too. It’s research (*cough*).

Has the full list gone public yet? I'm curious to see if DIFFERENT LIKE COCO and a gutsy little picture book broad named Emily Brown made the cut. If so, they're in great company ;) Woot!

I'm so proud of you! lol that's so great! Congratulations! Also I think it's great you like writing strong female charicters! I think a lot of writers don't do that and girls need postive examples! (even though I do watch the gossip girl show, but I would never do any of that stuff and those arn't the girls I look up to!) :) *hug* OMG, Robin that’s awsome!
