I do try hard to let people know about good books they might not hear about otherwise. I have heard about <i>Stitches</i>. Sounds great. I'll have more to say about the US cover of <i>Liar</i> later. But I think it's important to remember that covers are outside an author's area of control. So if people have a problem with the cover they should be letting the publisher know because they're the ones who have the power to change it. Natalie: Thanks!

Some books get such massive hype it's harder to find out about new interesting (just not as hyped) books. I live in a fairly small city with an amazing library ... it just takes a long time to get new titles here :) So I truly appreciate the cool books you mention. Have you heard of Stitches by David Small (I think?)? I can't wait to get my hands on that one. It's YA/Memoir told via a graphic novel (from what I've read on it). I was late to the graphic novel train and only got interested after I read Hamlet as a graphic novel. It is so well done! Stitches looks like something quirky and off-beat you would recommend on here (I mean it as a compliment!) Question for you: I've read several posts where you talk about how different races are portrayed in books. I read this blog about your book LIAR: http://editorialanonymous.blogspot.com/2009/07/this-week-in-publisher-gossip.html And I was wondering if you agree with it? I know your main character is, obviously, a liar so I thought maybe the issue played into that. Otherwise, should I buy the Australian version of the book? If you can't answer (or don't want to post this) I totally understand. I was just curious. Regardless, thanks for your fabulous blog. Thanks for the excellent book recs here.
