Tomorrow’s guest: Julie Halpern

Tomorrow, we have author Julie Halpern (Get Well Soon) stopping by. Julie’s book is a nomination for ALA’s 2008 Quick Picks. Congratulations, Julie! 🙂

Julie is giving away one signed copy of Get Well Soon and a frowny face button. So, leave a comment on tomorrow’s post if you want to be entered.

And where have all the Blogger people gone? It’s been quiet here for a few days. LJ is becoming the hot-spot now! Come check out our conversations there, if you haven’t already.

The books of 2007

You guys had some great thoughts yesterday on the Facebook vs. MySpace debate. I do think that for now, anyway, MySpace is THE place to be to market to teens. But now that Facebook is open to everyone, we’ll see how that changes things later, perhaps.

So, is anyone writing through the holidays? Going to be scribbling in a notebook while sipping Aunt Lena’s eggnog? 🙂 I’ll be working because… I’m just over 10k words away from finishing my second book in the Canterwood Crest series! Yahoo! It’s all downhill from here, baby. I want to have it all bright and shiny when I present it to Agent A next month. The lack of good TV has kept me writing much later into the evening than usual.

Also, I rearranged the blog a little and put 2007’s read books at the very bottom of the page. The new titles for 2008 will fill their old position in the sidebar. I really wanted to create one link that would take you to all of those titles, but I haven’t figured out how to do so yet.

So, I’ll ask. What’s your favorite book that you read in 2007? It doesn’t have to have been pubbed in 2007, if you wish.

Note: from now on I’m going to keep cross-posting here and on LJ. There’s such a great LJ crowd (waves!) that I was leaving them out by only posting here.
