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!
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.
Oh, sweet. Thanks for posting!
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.)
Little Willow & Sara Z: Spread the news far and wide!
Celia: you have set me a challenge! Must write book that makes Celia hurt herself from excessive laughage!
thanks for the promo justine!
the launch was great, nick was great, and i got a proper night’s sleep for the first time in ever…
celia: read 48 shades of brown. it is responsible for a very embarrassing snorting fit when i was reading it under the counter at the bookshop i used to work in…
what a great site! now i want to write a ya book just to get on it.
Lili: It’s fabulous! I had to share with my tens of readers.
Yay on sleep. Congrats!
Claire: Ain’t it? You should write a YA book anyways. YA is the best!
