Thankful Thursday

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.

2. I'm thankful that a good ( Read more... )

You weren't Valentine's only viewer--I watched that show, too! (Can't say I was a big fan of it, though. My Greek mythology obsession is what sucked me in.)

But I *do* love Life Unexpected. Here's hoping the CW will renew it like The Vampire Diaries!

Wow! Glad to see another Valentine fan. I am a huge Greek mythology buff as well, so that show really excited me. Wish it had found more viewers.

Yes, I really hope LUX is renewed!

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 just got Spells yesterday, and I can't wait to read it (though I'm trying to pace myself through the ARCs).

I don't have the will power to pace through ARCs! Let me know what you think of Spells!
