Just when you thought obsessive refreshing was the most fun you could ever have . . .
This whole month, Justine and I are guest-blogging at Inside a Dog, the premier website for Australian YA. We’ll be posting more frequently than I do here, and answering reader questions. It should be fun.
And while you’re there, you can explore the rest of Inside a Dog’s (insideadog.com.au) awesome contents:
Tons of book reviews.
Interviews with YA authors like M.T. Anderson, Margo Lanagan, Carol Wilkinson, and many more. (Oh, and me and Justine!)
Audio dowloads and screensavers.
And, one of my favorite features, the first chapters of new and upcoming titles. Highly useful.
Before you ask, the whole first-comment-wins-a-sampler thing doesn’t work over there. But we will be giving away some cool stuff over the next month. Because we have I’m an Extra T-shirts all over the place, and they must go!
We’ll be blogging there until August 6*, so come over and check us out.
*And I’ll be here too, of course.
P.S. The NY Times reports what we already knew: librarians are cool.
uh like 12 pages…hahaha lol
lol thats gonna be fun
Yeah I’ll probably end up doing like 100 pages of it the day before school starts!
the curiculum changed here in michigan and we had to start learning physics last year in 8th grade and it sucks ’cause now I have to get five math credits in high school
the good odds are still here, don’t worry. i have horrible luck so i’ll lose no matter what!
eek sorry i’m a slow poster…the camp is at like this local building/club/whatever from 8 till 12, and at 12 we go to the beach until 3:30. then i had to give my friend (fellow counselor) a ride home (not me, my mom–no i definitely can’t drive!), and then i had to run some errands with my mom and i FINALLY got back.
is it due the day school starts back?
O thats cool. Do u live at the beach or soething?
Yeah it’s due the very first day of school, or the second depending on how my schedule is
the camp sounds fun though do you like it
i live super close to it…there’s a big lake in my town (it’s 32 miles long–once i did a project on it). but yeah in a way i guess i live at the beach…i’m always there! always use sunscreen, kids! DON’T GET SKIN CANCER!
I live about 20 mins from a beach! I love going to the beach, and im super sunburned right now!! Like bright red!
R ya’ll there??
yes and still no post 🙁
I know it’s very sad. 🙁 I’ve been waiting all day!
thats cool i dont live near a beach im jealous
darn my slow posting…yeah it’s fun. sometimes the little kids can get annoying, but most of the time they’re pretty sweet. i also work at a local t-shirt/souvenir shop (the lake makes my town a big tourist spot in summer).
and ouch, jessie! once i forgot to reapply after i got out of the water, and my shoulders were bright red when i got home. i’m not like super-pale though…i don’t burn that easily.
