Pajants Event in NYC!
So, have you been following the pajants? Here's what happened: The pajants are a magical pair of pajama jeans that not only fit every shape and size (and personality) but also are the perfect thing to wear to ANY occasion. Throughout 2011, YA authors have been sharing the pajants, documenting their time in them (on blogs, facebook, and twitter), signing them, and sending them on their way. Yes. Just like in Ann Brashares’ SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS. Except with YA authors. And real. I got to wear them third last year. Here is me wearing them to the NYC YA writing festival:...

Hi again! So my goal of the summer is to blog more. But what should I blog about? What do you want to know? I was thinking of doing Q&As with some of my favorite authors. Obviously I would ask them lots of embarrassing questions. Also, if you read, leave a comment and say hi. Because we just opened the comments back up and I want to make sure that it's working. Other news: 1. Ten Things is for sale at Target! I love Target. I do not have a Target near me, but last week we were in the suburbs and ...
