So many things to say today! I'm going to punctuate each part of this post with a glitter star.
First, that was Cynthia entering the contest! She won a prize, of course, along with a bunch of other brave souls who made me fun videos to entertain me during the slow summertime. I'll be showing a few more lip syncing videos here as soon as I get permission from their makers. I just adore this game.
Now, if you made me a video, email me with your address and "Lip Sync Contest" in the subject and I'll send you a prize. It'll be good. Promise.
The winner of E. Lockhart's A Treasure Map of Boys, as chosen at random from everyone who made a video and/or spread the word about the contest is... Erika! Send me your address, E!
Tomorrow, I promise to share my own lip sync video, along with some more of the entries from the contest. As soon as I get up the nerve.
This week's contest is for another E. Lockhart book, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks, now out in paperback. To enter, just comment below and tell me whether you prefer the hardcover (left) or paperback version (right). I think I'm partial to the hardcover, though I do love those shiny awards stickers. Go, E. Lockhart!
And lastly, but not... uh... leastly, Tonight is Teen Author Reading Night (6-7:30pm, Jefferson Market Branch of NYPL, 425 6th Ave, at 10th St.) and I'm reading! So are these awesome people. So come!
