New YA website
Inside a dog is a brand new website promoting young adult literature. It launched today and has Nick Earls as its first writer-in-residence.
On top of the writer-in-residence blog, there are reviews, recommended booklists—I love the categories: such as pink books, bring the funny, things that go bump. Some of the recommended books are faves of mine, like Cecil Castellucci’s The Queen of Cool, Scott’s Peeps and Michael Wagner’s Dog Wars. There are lots of other goodies, including a contest to win an ipod.
Go check it out!

Little Willow Says:
Awesome. Adding to my bookmarks for later consumption.
Though not actual consumption, mind you. I’ve already eaten breakfast, and the illess, I’ll leave to The Doll in the Garden by Mary Downing Hahn.

Celia Says:
Nick Earls is possibly my most favorite Australian writer ever. Sorry! I do love you, but good as Magic Lessons was, it didn’t make me laugh so hard on a bus ride that I thought I’d end up hurting myself. (Perfect Skin) I am bad, though, for I still haven’t read any of his YA books, even though there are two on my bookshelf at home. I think I am scared they won’t be as good as the grown-up books. (This is a common fear of mine. I collect books, and then never read them, just in case.)
