Just a note for anyone else who loves MWT’s novels–there’s a livejournal community for them at http://community.livejournal.com/sounis . Yay Attolia! Yay Gen!

Attolia and Gen ROCK! Oh, and mwt, of course.

I agree with Tim. I also found your blog through scott’s and I decided I mustmustmust read your books because your blog was so entertaining.

Aw..for once, a YA author is having an event in Canada but it’s still too far for me to go to.

I loved Megan Whalen Turner’s trilogy!
And, really, did Maureen Johnson throw her iphone out the window? And what’s the “Magick Dreams Sticker Journal”?

What about corks? For a while I’ve been pulling corks from wine bottles and dumping them in a kitchen drawer, but then the drawer filled up and so now they’re all in a bag. What should I do with them?

The pace of corking has slowed as most wine bottles I get now are screwtop. (Maybe you disapprove of screwtop wine, in which case I shouldn’t have mentioned it…)

I bought HTDYF yesterday. At a Barnes & Noble where I went to for an event with John Green. It was a pretty awesome night. Also got Bogus to Bubbly by Scott, of course, Skinned by Robin Wasserman, and Paper Towns. Duh! Anyway, I am quite happy with my shopping spree. ^^

Well funnily enough it was reading your blog that made me want to read your books! Not out of some sense of guilt though. I originally came here from Scott’s page and found your blog so ridiculously entertaining that I thought “if her blog can be this good I wonder what her books are like?!” Same thing happened with John Green and Maureen Johnson actually.

That said, I wouldn’t have read all of the MoM series if I didn’t like it, and I’m waiting until HTDYF comes out in Aus so I can buy it.

I think author blogs are a really good thing. In the eyes of the greater-public they turn you into real people as opposed to word-factories in some far off land. It’s also humorous to watch the development of your books (albeit from afar) and then having the chance to read them.

pixelfish: Stop it immediately!

Also reading mine (or anyone else’s) books from a library is a very good thing for authors. Never apologise for reading library books!

I’ve read half your books. (Still trying to get the other ones from the library whilst I am poor and unemployed.)

Still feel guilt…a little.
