I may not be blogging so much for the next few weeks. I is busy. Plus book still not writing itself. But here’s some links for youse:
Maureen weighs in on the should-you-major-in-creative-writing-for-your-undergraduate-degree debate and manages (as usual) to be both funny and wise.
Rethinking basketball, my new fave WNBA blog, talks about last night’s Detroit-LA brawl . I disagree that it will have a negative effect on attendance, but I do worry that they’ll wind up over-officiating games to make up for last night’s shoddy under officiating.
Publishers Weekly has named How To Ditch Your Fairy one of the wackiest Fall titles they’ve come across more specifically it’s the “Least Practical DIY Guide”. Via way too many folks to thank all of ‘em.

So here is a Leilani photo taken by Bruce Yeung to adorn the most recent reviews of HTDYF .1
The first review is over at Book Lover . Be warned it is VERY spoilery.
The second one comes from Enchanting Reviews. They give HTDYF five encha...
