So what's next?

Nov 26, 2010 22:42

I intended to more or less take a break this week. It was Thanksgiving (even if it's not a holiday here in Australia, we still have dinner in our house), I sent out my first ever query letters. I was allowing myself some time to luxuriate in being a total basketcase, refreshing my email every five minutes even when it was 3 AM in NYC. I intended ( Read more... )

Good luck with the new book! I'm just in awe of how far you've come and how dedicated you've been. From the couple of glimpses I've had, TIW looks amazing and I can't wait to see it in all its glory. Sooo, yeah, best of luck with the new one-- and thanks for posting in the journal so that we can follow along. <3

Aww, thank you! :D To be honest I still feel silly after I post things on my blog, because I'm all "who the hell is reading this thing?" But you make me feel all shiny and happy. <3 <3 Happy (belated) thanksgiving etc.!

Happy thanksgiving yourself (even more belated)! And don't worry; your internet words do not float in obscurity. Some of us are terrible at keeping in touch (insert sheepish look here), but are secretly rooting hard for you and can't wait to buy copies and copies of your books.

Speaking of buying books, I want to find some YA fiction for my sister for Xmas. She's 15, and not super hardcore into fantasy, but she enjoyed Mockingjay and likes reading about cool and intrepid girls she can relate to. I think law school's made me fall out of touch with the genre. Any suggestions?

PS that's me :(

Hmmm. I would recommend the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld. It's a totally fantastic dystopian world, and if she likes the first book there are three more in the series to hook her.

If she's interested in slightly darker/edgier fiction then The Forest of Hands and Teeth, by Carrie Ryan, is pretty good. Post zombie apocalypse, with some romance tossed in for good measure. (To clarify: not actually romance with the zombies. Thankfully.)

I <3 making book recs for people, so I could go on forever--but I don't think you can go wrong with those!
