Report from Downton Cabot: Life Goes On
This isn’t the blog entry I was hoping to write to start off the new year, but life doesn’t always go the way we plan. As many of you have already learned via Twitter and Facebook, Lady Fussypants, also known as Henrietta, passed away peacefully in her cat bed two weeks ago. Cause of death: […]
Best of 2012
Best of 2012 I can’t believe the holiday season has already snuck up on us. I’m not prepared at all! Although it was nice to get that extra week in this year between Thanksgiving and the alleged Mayan Apocalypse, so at least I got to catch up on all the books I’m late turning in.* […]
Letters from Friends and Fans
I get a lot of mail. Here are some letters* I’ve received, as well as my responses. *All of these letters are guaranteed real. Only some of the names have been changed to protect the identity of the senders. Dear Meg: Hi. I hop you have a nais Halloween. What are you goin to be? […]
Sophia’s Baggage
Two weeks ago, I packed a bag and boarded a plane to go to New York City to do some work. Midway through my journey, the flight attendant leaned over to say, “Miss Cabot, I just have to ask—” Am I the same Meg Cabot who wrote The Princess Diaries? Why yes, I am . […]
Coffin Night/Back to School
It’s back to school time! I know because they just celebrated Coffin Night here in Key West. What’s Coffin Night, you ask? Well, it’s a Back To School ritual uniquely Key West . . . and also a subplot of the Abandon series, in which a teenage girl discovers that beneath the cemetery of the […]
9/11/2001
So, every time I don’t re-post this entry about what it was like on 9/11 in downtown Manhattan for average New Yorkers (well, me, my husband – who worked across the street from the World Trade Center – and our friends – including our friends who had kids in schools next to the Trade Center), […]
Book festival! New book! Contest Winner! More!
Many things are happening this week that don’t necessarily involve going back to school, tropical storms, and politics (it’s an election year here in the US for those of you who are reading this from overseas and don’t follow the news in the US. Honestly, I wouldn’t either if I didn’t have to). Here is […]
100% Not Fake
Here are some things that have been going on in the swinging cocktail lounge that is my life and mind (vodka martini, very dry and very dirty). 1) Apparently there is a new show on TLC called Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. A lot of reviewers are saying this show is the equivalent of the […]
What I Learned On My Summer Vacation (Book Tour)
I just spent the past two weeks crisscrossing the US (well, mostly just the Midwest. I did West coast and East coast last summer, so it was the Midwest’s turn) on my book tour to promote Size 12 and Ready to Rock . . . which, just to get this out of the way, you […]
Heather Wells is Ready to Rock
It’s been a crazy week! Between the wildfires in the west, the storms in the northeast, and Tom and Katie, it’s starting to look like the Mayans might have been right about 2012. But the Mayans didn’t count on brave firefighters, power company workers, and Katie’s crack legal team. So we shouldn’t pack our bags […]
Ready to Rock Tour, Book, Giveaways, etc
It’s here! The very first copy of the first Heather Wells mystery in five years, Size 12 and Ready to Rock, is in my hands! Unfortunately, I only have this ONE copy. The rest won’t be released in the US/Canada until July 10. But you can read the first three chapters (and find out why […]
Cover Story
Questions! Have I read Shades of Grey? How do my book covers get chosen? Will there be a spanking robot in the next Underworld book? When’s my next book tour? How’s Henrietta? Etc. I wasn’t able to get to all of your questions during my live video chat on Goodreads (but thanks to all of […]
It’s Here
You know that old saying, April showers bring May flowers? Well, sometimes in April it can a little rain too much, bringing forth more than just flowers. This May at my house, April showers have brought forth: – a new book (in stores TODAY!) – an awesome book trailer contest (you could win an iPad!) […]
Princess Week
Did you know April 22-28 is National Princess Week? Of course you did! (If you’re like me, you assumed every week was Princess Week and were surprised to learn this isn’t true.) But according to Disney and Target, they only “officially” recognized Princess Week is this week. That’s when they will be promoting all princess-themed […]
Spring Breakaggedon 2012
Spring is here (officially, if not temperature wise in most places), and you know what that means: 1) School’s out for Spring Break in a lot of places, so Key West (where I live) is packed with vacationers. 2) Some of those vacationers are staying in my house! 3) But that doesn’t mean new books […]
Help a Book Lover in Need!
Just a quick post since I am (as always) on deadline! Tons of authors (including this one) are offering up autographed books to raise money for the Red Cross for the recent Midwest tornado victims, many of whom lost everything, but especially their school libraries! Here’s your chance to be a hero not just to […]
Recap of Downton Cabot
This has been a very tumultuous week at Downton Cabot. Here are the things you need to know if you want to keep up: Lady Henrietta “Fussypants” Cabot has begun rising before 7AM every morning, insisting on being fed Whiska Temptations by hand. Portrait of Lady Fussypants in the Powder Room, waiting for hand feeding […]
What A Girl Wants
The first month of the year is already gone and I haven’t even bought a 2012 wall calendar yet for my office. But what do you do when you get to OfficeMax and the only calendar choices left over in the store are Indy 500 and Glee? No offense to either of these fine institutions […]
Advice from Mia Thermopolis
Hi, it’s me, Princess Mia Thermopolis! I stopped by Meg’s blog to post for her because she’s so busy promoting Abandon, which just came out today for the first time in paperback! You would think that as a royal, I’d be the busy one, what with going to college and helping my dad to rule […]
Best of 2011
Happy New Year! By the time you read this, it will most likely be 2012. How could another year have passed so quickly? I don’t know. All I know is that 2011 went by like lightning. Like most writers, I am a person of deep reflection (mostly when it concerns the lives of my characters, […]
Book Tour in France!
So this morning I’m getting on a plane for my book tour in France. This is exactly the kind of glamorous thing that I always imagined I’d be doing if I were ever a published author! But here’s a little known secret: in real life, hopping on a plane to Paris for your book tour […]
Cover Girls
So much book cover stuff is going on, not just with my own books, but other people’s too, that it’s all I can think about. Which is not good because I have so much to get done before I leave for my mini – book tour at the end of the month in, of all […]
Twitter and Facebook Qs Answered
I love reading all your comments and questions on Facebook and Twitter. But some of them require answers that are too long to write in 140 characters. And let’s face fact: I write 55,000-100,000 word books for a living. It’s hard for me to write anything in 140 characters. So I thought I would try […]
Bits ‘n Bans ‘n Birthdays
Hi! Well, it’s officially fall. School has started, all of our favorite shows are back on (and some new ones have been added—check below for some completely partial reviews!), and some new books have come out (not any of mine, except the anthology I’m taking part in. Which, if you want to see me talk […]
Please Add This to Your Wishlist!
What do authors Alexander McCall Smith, R.L. Stine, John Green, Ann M. Martin, Cornelia Funke, Jeanne DuPrau, Mia Farrow, Karen Hesse, Joyce Carol Oates, Nate Powell, Sofia Quintero, Francisco X. Stork, Cynthia Voigt, Nikki Giovanni, Marilyn Nelson, Naomi Shihab Nye, Gary Soto, Jane Yolen, and me have in common? We all have a book out […]
Ten Years
Sunday will be the tenth anniversary of 9/11. For those of you who don’t know, my husband (also known as He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog) was working in an office building across the street from the Twin Towers, and was sitting at his desk when the first plane hit. I’m going […]
Which 80s Film Heroine Are You?/Hurricane 101
So roughly half of the coastal US is under a hurricane watch or warning right now (except, strangely, the parts of the US that are used to it, such as Florida, which is where I am right now). Having been through numerous hurricanes since I moved here in 2004, I feel qualified to give some […]
Dog Days
Right now we’re in what is commonly referred to as the Dog Days of Summer. I used to think people called this time of year “the dog days” because it’s so hot, even dogs don’t want to move from their nice comfy spot in the shade. But it’s actually because historically, August was when Sirius, […]
It’s Meg Cabot Day: Stop Working
I hope you aren’t working right now. Work is forbidden (for real, by proclamation of the mayor of Bloomington, Indiana) on July 31st, which is Meg Cabot Day.
Sunshine in Tall Shoes*
Hey, here’s something we don’t have around here very often: A guest post! And it’s by a guy! It’s from author Christopher Moore, whose awesome new graphic novel, The Griff, is in stores now! In case you didn’t know, I did a guest post for Chris a few weeks ago (click here to read it. […]
Follow Your Heart
Those of you who follow this blog know that I’ve spent this summer on the road. And I still have three signings left! Bookworks in Albuquerque on Sunday, July 17th; University Village Barnes and Noble in Seattle on Monday, July 18th; the Author Series at the Woodmark Hotel (also in Seattle) on Tuesday, July 19th; […]
Road Trip Q and A
I’m on the road promoting my new book, Overbite! And I’ve got some answers to some of your most burning questions: Q: Why is your new book called Overbite? A: Because in dating the Prince of Darkness while simultaneously working for an organization which is seeking to eradicate all demon life forms on earth, the […]
Overbite
I can’t believe my new book Overbite is HERE! For those of you who haven’t grabbed a copy yet, you can find it just about anywhere, (except your local church), from your local bookstore to your local Target . . . . it’s even downloadable in Kindle and Nook format! Some of you have written […]
Important News about your Summer Plans!
I’ve tried to put off telling you guys this for the longest time because I know a ton of you are planning on coming to NYC this summer on vacation or to see Book of Mormon (did you get tickets? Because I can’t. Not that it matters, as you’ll soon see) or for the Romance […]
Hi from San Francisco!
Hello! I’m off to San Francisco, CA, Naperville, IL, and Wellesley, MA for another week of fun, adventure, and book signings! I’d love to see you if you can come to any of the following events (they’re with This is Teen, which is an initiative through Scholastic Books to connect teens with their favorite authors […]
Q and A with Meg Cabot
Hi, everybody! I’m home from my events in New York! They were tons of fun. Such great turn outs! Thanks to everyone who attended, and don’t forget there’ll be even MORE events the week after next in California, Illinois, and Massachusetts (check out the exact dates and times here). After my New York signings I […]
REPORTING LIVE FROM THE RAPTURE
Hello! It’s me, Meg Cabot, reporting live from the rapture in Key West, Florida (probably the most sinful place in the world outside of Las Vegas and of course the entire state of Indiana). I’m home from Orlando and Canada, and about to leave for my signings next week in NEW YORK CITY! That is […]
Thank You!
I’m more thankful than I can say to everyone who came to my first few appearances during the start of my Abandon book tour (you can see tons of cute photos of yourselves on my Facebook page here) . . . . . . . as well as to those of you who couldn’t make […]
It’s Here!
Abandon is in US (and Canadian) stores now (officially on sale Tuesday, April 26)! I’m really excited about the publication of this book (and not just because it’s always exciting to have a book published. It’s exciting just to finish writing a book, let alone get it published)! But there are a couple of reasons […]
Make Someone’s Wish Come True
While certain other people are stressing out just the teensiest bit about the upcoming royal wedding (see Princess Mia Thermopolis’s blog) on April 29, 2011, I’m stressing out just the teensiest bit about the book tour I’m about to leave on for my new YA paranormal Abandon. (You can see the clock counting down the […]
Only Fools Fall in Love
Guess what today is?
Don’t Abandon Hope
A lot of stuff has happened since I last posted. I’m not going to bother giving a recap, since you all keep up with current events. It’s been the kind of month where some of us may have felt the urge to watch way too many Lifetime Movies of the Week in a row (such […]
Back From The Dead
I know! It’s like I fell off the face of the earth, right? But I’ve actually been right here, writing (and occasionally Tweeting. And Facebooking). It’s just so hard to tear myself away from my heroines’ worlds to tell you about my own because mine is so boring in comparison (uh . . . I […]
My Dead Valentine
It’s that day again: The day some people love to celebrate with little pieces of paper cut into the shape of a heart and exchanges of gifts of candy and jewelry, and other people hate with an all-mighty passion. But don’t worry. Whether you’re a lover or a hater, I’ve got Valentines for everyone: 1) […]
Trouble Busting
There appears to be some kind of “controversy” over how Christina Aguilera sang the National Anthem at the Superbowl. I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that one thing our great country has always stood for is being there for the underdog in times of trouble (usually. Sometimes we are a little […]
My Mom Is Famous Now
My mom is very excited because Garrison Keiler (best known for A Prairie Home Companion) talked about her (and her boyfriend) today on the The Writer’s Almanac. Here’s what he said (it’s even mostly accurate):
Tortietude
As you know if you’ve been following my Twitter feed, my cat Henrietta has been having some health concerns. Nothing life threatening . . . unless you call inexplicably pulling out her own fur and then spitting it across the room life threatening. Which of course I do, because now there’s a bald spot across […]
Gleeful
Thank you, Golden Globes. We needed that. Just out of curiosity, have you spent the past twenty-four/thirty-six hours asking yourself the same question I have been asking myself?
It’s On
I had this whole big post written out for today to let you know that we’re discussing The Mediator Books One and Two (Shadowland and The Ninth Key) on the Meg Cabot Book Club this month, and that you BETTER stop by here to join the discussion with me because I’m going to be all […]
Rapture or Reckoning?
As some of you may know, certain theologians argue that at some point in the future there is going to be either a big party (known as the Rapture) . . . . . . or those of us who have been naughty are going to be in bit trouble (which will be called the […]
Resolution: Have More Grit
I just saw True Grit starring Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin. It was fantastic. But it made me realize how lacking I am in grit. Could you, like Mattie Ross (played by the amazing 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld, the true star of the movie), endure hangings, gunfights, stabbings, having to sleep next to […]
Best of 2010!
Sure, 2010 had its downsides: the horrible economy, the earthquake in Haiti, the BP oil spill, just to name a few. The weather certainly could have been better. And what was with all those bedbugs? But in what other year has something touched all of us as deeply as the miraculous rescue of those Chileans […]
The Princess Thing
I went to see Tangled this weekend! It was really fun, but of course with the holidays and everything, it got me reflecting on “the princess thing.” Now that I have nieces and a lot of friends who have daughters, I’m always hearing about “the princess thing” from someone. “Please don’t get my daughter any […]
Awesome Gifts, Some of Which You Can Win
If you’re like me, you’re panicking right now, realizing how behind you are in everything, including your Christmas shopping (if you’re shopping for Hanukkah, you’re basically screwed). So here are some ideas for you (for gifts. If you, like me, had a book due last week, all I can say is, welcome to the club […]
The Mark Ruffalo Effect
If you’re like me, you probably spent the holiday weekend eating, shopping, and watching movies. I have to send most of what I bought back because of course I bought it online and it’s way too small (this probably would not be the case if I hadn’t also bought ten boxes of peppermint bark from […]
Giving Thanks
It’s that time of year again. The one where we cease all normal activity and are forced to sit at a dinner table with a bunch of people we probably don’t see that often (or sometimes even necessarily like all that much). In some households, we hold hands with these people, say a prayer, then […]
Combating the Crazies
First everything sucked. Now everything’s crazy! Case in point: Every time you turn on the news, there is some story about how at the airports, they want you to go through one of those X-ray scanners that take a picture of your naked bits! In my opinion, the fact that there might be a nude […]
Avalon High Disney Channel Movie Premiere
It’s finally here! Premiere night for the movie based on my book, Avalon High! And the best part is, this isn’t some snobby premiere out in Hollywood that only the stars are invited to . . . it’s a premiere we can ALL go to, right in our living rooms! Because it’s on Disney Channel, […]
Fight The Suckage
I’m going to make a general statement that some of you might not agree with, but I don’t care. Lately, things seem to suck. Maybe they’re going great for you and if that’s true, fantastic. But if you’re like a lot of people I know, it’s the opposite.
NaNoWriMo, Witchery, and Signs
I guess it’s time you all knew the truth . . . I AM a witch! Or at least I dressed as one for Halloween. I was a good witch, casting spells for peace and hope for everyone.
Sensational
Fall in New York City is always magical (even if none of the tourists seem to be heeding the advice of the fabulous Stefon on SNL), but I’m glad to be home, first of all because Henrietta missed me so much (she hasn’t stopped talking since I walked through the door) and second of all […]
Live from Austin!
I’m in Austin, Texas at the Texas Book Festival! The first thing that happened to me here was that I tried to make my hair really big because everything is big in Texas. Except, it turns out, hair. No one but me wears big hair in Texas anymore, especially in Austin. This ended up not […]
Bullies!
While I was on vacation last week (it turned out to be super nice, by the way) I had a lot of time to think about all this bullying going on. And I started wishing someone would do a poll to find out how many authors were bullied as kids. I bet the number would […]
New Avalon High Trailer, New Mediator Covers, New Everything!
All my husband wanted for his birthday was to relax, so we embarked on a quest to make that happen. But it’s super hard to relax when so much exciting stuff is going on. You know what I’m talking about: Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars. Someone finally figuring out an easy way to […]
I’ll Relax When I’m Dead
It’s He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog’s birthday next week, and he says all he wants for the big day is for me to relax. Apparently, my lying on the couch watching a ten-hour Say Yes To The Dress marathon does not count as “relaxing.” This, HWSNBNITB says, is “re-energizing.” Much in […]
Sleeping Cowgirls
Good Lord! It has been quite a week. It’s not even officially ALA’s Banned Books Week yet (Sept. 25-Oct.2), but already everywhere I go, all I hear is “This author’s books have been banned!” You can read my interview with the Story Snoops here, where I discuss my personal experiences with (and greatest fears about) […]
Princesses, Unicorns, and Zombies
I’m leaving today for my big signing in Denver (can’t believe it’s tomorrow . . . click here to find out all the juicy details!) to benefit Craig Hospital . . . . . . and also to sneak in a visit my brother (yes, the cop) and my nieces and my mom (who is […]
Nine Years Ago
I checked and it’s been a few years since I posted this. I don’t know how many of you know it, but my husband worked in an office across the street from the Twin Towers, and was sitting at his desk when the first plane hit on this morning nine years ago. He literally saw […]
Lock and Load
If I’ve seemed distant lately, I honestly do have a good reason. And it’s not because I’ve been on some glamorous book tour for Allie Finkle’s latest adventure, which is, believe it or not, in stores now. No, the truth is, my husband has left me.
Johnny Has Feelings
So while I was busy not keeping my promise to blog every day (ha, THAT was stupid) some stuff went on. Here’s what: I saw the movie The Ghost Writer, in which very bad things happen to not one, but TWO writers who are hired to write ghost write a politician’s memoirs. Though I’m not […]
Weather Girl
Like every woman in America this week I had to go see the movie of Eat Pray Love. I will admit I had a little bit of a hard time getting into the book (it’s not my fault. I only have one ovary) but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, especially the food parts and the […]
Back to School Contest For Teachers/Librarians!
Remember how I said I was going to blog every day? Well, I totally meant to keep that promise. But then someone gave me a case of Back To School Stomach Flu (don’t even ask why this happens every time I go on a plane). Anyway, I’ve spent the past two days with a salad […]
Live from Harry Potter! Arcade Fire! RWA! and More!
More Reports From the Front Lines Okay, so I’m definitely no Christiane Amanpour because I’m finally home and I know I did a horrible job of reporting from the front lines (except for the occasional Tweet/Facebook update). Which sucks because there’s so much I meant to tell you guys (especially those of you who want […]
Reporting live from the front lines of RWA
Hi, it’s me, reporting live from the front lines here at the 30th annual Romance Writers of America conference, where can I just tell you the air is tingling with the excitement of the pre-published waiting to snag a meeting with an editor or agent . . . not to mention the already published hoping […]
Gossip, Lindsay, Covers, and RWA
It’s that time of year again, the time when most of us are off to camp or vacation (or, if you’re Lindsay Lohan, jail). Well, writers aren’t any different. I’m off to Orlando for the ROMANCE WRITERS OF AMERICA NATIONAL CONVENTION. (Yeah, I did get a little excited writing that, thanks.) I’m especially excited to […]
The Palatine Guard Human Resources Handbook
Here are some facts that may have escaped your notice until now, but of which I feel you CANNOT go into the holiday weekend without being made aware: If you hold a sparkler to a mannequin’s dress, it WILL catch on fire. If you go away for the holiday weekend, some kids might make a […]
Reviews
This past weekend He Who Shall Not Be Not Named In This Blog found out his father has to have open heart surgery. Then the US got knocked out of the World Cup (but congrats, Brazil)! Then I couldn’t remember where I was when Michael Jackson died, and everyone on the news kept saying NO […]
Giving Back: Or, You’re Probably Fine
OK, yours are way better than mine. I loved hearing back from so many of you about your secret heart’s desires! One thing about secret heart’s desires, though (besides the fact that they’re supposed to be a secret. So no one has to know that you to want to be, oh, I don’t know, a […]
Secret Heart’s Desire
What’s your secret heart’s desire? I know you have one. We all do (beyond our basic human need for food, shelter, and companionship). Mine’s to find a dead body (NOT someone I know). I know that’s totally gross. But I love the show Law and Order, and I’ve lived in New York City for years […]
Cheese, Eggs, and The Truth
Okay. So this week alone: 1. I had a new book come out. 2. I had an article on Huffington Post. 3. I had to remind myself of the famous Janeane Garofalo quote from The Truth About Cats & Dogs:“You can love your pets. But just don’t loooooove your pets…” 4. Glee had its season […]
Grandmas Have Taken Charge
He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog took me to see Killers the other night. (I’ve been feeling a little down about the oil. Who hasn’t been? It’s not here yet in Key West, but according to this map, it’s coming eventually). To my surprise, I left the movies feeling less horrible, which […]
Memorial Day/Insatiable Page
Memorial Day Weekend! Official start of summer! Barbecues, beach, movies, and BOOKS (to be read for fun, not school). I was supposed to get a pool/hot tub combo for my birthday (back in February). Will the new one be ready in time to use this weekend? We’ll see. But something that IS ready? The all […]
Insatiable Book Trailer/PW Review
I can’t believe it’s less than three weeks until Insatiable comes out! I’m super excited about it. Because in times like these—when volcanic ash is spewing all over one part of the world, and oil is gushing up from the ocean in another, and we’re apparently going to be without new episodes of Law and […]
Cool Stuff Moms (and you) Will Like
Whether you’re a mom, have a mom, support a mom, or just act like a mom by bossing all your friends around, Mother’s Day is a good day to remember all the comforting things that make us feel happy and good inside, the way moms do (unless they’re that horrible mom from Precious who tried […]
Blooper Video/Author’s Guild/Princess Mia
People often ask, “How do you come up with your book trailers?” I thought a look behind the scenes might give you a few hints. Check out my book trailer blooper reel!
LA Times Festival of Books/TMZ/Girl Gothic
I’m having the best time on my book tour in SoCal (even if I did bring three bathing suits and it’s been too cold so far to go outside in them). But today was the first day of the LA Times Book Festival . . . and it was warm enough for kids to sprawl […]
Runaway Book Tour, Day 1
I’m posting this as I jet across the country toward LA, tens of thousands of feet in the air, thanks to my Go Go in-flight Wi Fi service, which better work because I paid $12.95 for it, and my in-seat TV is broken, which is typical of my day so far, since I woke at […]
Ash Cloud vs. Al Roker
In case you haven’t heard (how could you not have?) a giant cloud of volcanic ash is consuming most of the air space over Europe. Do you think if instead of being all, “It’s so COOL to read about a world where there isn’t enough food to go around and everything sucks. I wish that […]
Stark, Seventeen, Insatiable
Hi. I’m posting this while on the run from Stark Corporate.
Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, and Me
Oh, you didn’t know Taylor, Scarlett, and me hang out together? Well, our shoes do, anyway.
Meg’s Do’s and Don’ts for a Long-Lasting Relationship
Happy Easter and Passover! And of course to those of you who celebrate the NCAA (as at least one person has been doing in my house all weekend), happy that, too! For those of you who missed it, on April 1 I celebrated my 17th wedding anniversary (obviously, I was a child bride). Many have […]
Runaway: Win The Book! See The Video! Check Out The Tour!
In my new book, Runaway, Em Watts is on the run from people who want her out of the way . . . permanently. I feel a bit like I’m on the run myself right now (not from people who want to kill me, so much as from bronchitis), there’s so much going on! But […]
Writer’s Block
I was having the best time in NYC, helping friends to celebrate their birthdays (click here if you missed it), and shopping until I literally dropped, when I was felled by an insidious bronchial infection that was obviously released here in the city by that same terrorist cell that’s been doing such a good job […]
Survivor
What a crazy couple of weeks! And not just because of the Health Care vote, or because I have a new book out, or because of what’s happening to poor Sandra (though I’m still crossing my fingers that the rumors aren’t true, and maybe this is all just one of those celebrity shakedowns that have […]
Get Glitter Girled!
Ladies (and some of you gentlemen). I know what you want. It’s what we all want. What we’ve all been wanting for some time: And that’s to get Glitter Girled! Well, tomorrow, your Glitter Girl dreams will come true:
Keeper Shelf: Albatross by Josie Bloss
Warning: Don’t read Josie Bloss’s new book Albatross unless you have no other plans for the night.* * Edited later to add: Want to win a free copy of this book? Go here. Because when I received a copy of Albatross, He Who Shall Not Be Not In This Blog and I were supposed to […]
Best Movie Of All Time, Oscar Edition!
How many of the 10 nominees for Best Picture have you seen this year? I’ve seen nine out of ten (that’s because I belong to the Screenwriters Guild, so I get sent some of the DVDs for the best original and adapted screenplay category). Which movies did I vote for? Well…
Movie News: Avalon High and The Mediator
As we gear up for Oscar night (I’ve seen 8 of the 10 Best Picture nominees, and am about to see #9! How about you? Best Movie Ever, Oscar Edition, coming to this blog soon!), I just got movie news of my very own. Read it here first… (…or not because it was already in […]
Thanks, Olympics
Dear Olympics, Now that our relationship is coming to an end, I just want to thank you. I will admit that things got off to a rocky start between us. All I really knew about you at first was that you were going to pre-empt a lot of my favorite shows (30 Rock, Mercy, etc), […]
Are you there God? Margaret’s Not OK for Tweens
Playboy! Kissing! Emerging sexuality! Would you buy a book for your eleven old you thought was about these things? Probably not. But if parents go to Judy Blume’s newly updated Barnes and Noble page for Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret, that’s exactly what they’re going to find out that the book has in […]
