1. I'm thankful that I'm finally back to revising THE ART OF SELLING MY SISTER. I love this book so much, and it's so great to get back to characters I know so well and adore. I'm rewriting the entire act 3 of this one and changing the mystery solution so it's "bigger" and "more satisfying." I'm also amping the conflict.

Hey Shana!

I'm so glad you are revising THE ART OF SELLING again! It sounds like a great book :) and yay for new WIPS!

I have a question... Did you order any books at ALA MW to be delivered/shipped to you? I ordered 2 packages of books (from HarperCollins and Little Brown) and I still haven't received any of them. *is confused/worried*

Best of luck with the wedding dress. :) Can't wait to see photos.

Oh I didn't even know you could order books from the publishers! Doh, I wish I had done that! What did you order? *jealous* Sorry I can't help with their whereabouts.

I ordered:
SISTERS RED
THE RECKONING
GUARDIAN OF THE GATE
GUARDIAN OF THE DEAD
OTHER by Karen Kincy (flux)
PROPHECY OF DAYS (flux)

They weren't there/couldn't fit with me on the bus back to NYC so.... yeah.

*sigh* I guess I'll just wait it out! Hopefully they haven't forgotten.

(lol you should've shipped--you had so many!)

I was a little stalker during ALA so I ended up getting all the books listed except Flux. The first two are great! I haven't yet read the two with Guardian in the title, but I loved Prophecy of the Sisters so I'm definitely excited to read the sequel. And I've heard nothing but good things about Guardian of the Dead.

You should have mailed a whole box of books back to NYC! That's what I'm planning to do during BEA even though I live right across the river, ha. But this way I don't have to lug so many on the bus. (I had a car during ALA.)

I sent them all to school because I am here more often.... I received one from EgmontUSA but none from LB or Flux. :/

Guardian of the Dead is by Karen Healy (New Zealand author - about NZ mythology and 16 yr old girl caught up in it).

I love Prophecy of the sisters too :)
