The Lit Thing: Book Bash – June 16!

Gentle readers, I will be appearing at The Lit Thing: Book Bash at Skylight Books this Wednesday, June 16, at 7:30p.m. to rant or rave about my favorite or most-hated book. Be sure to attend if you want to find out which it is!

Book Club FTW

The Pardon My Youth YA book club at Skylight Books continues on in its vein of awesome. This month we read and discussed Judy Blundell’s What I Saw and How I Lied (moderator the always-fantastic and hilarious Lisa Yee) with next month’s book selection Rats Saw God by Rob Thomas (of Veronica Mars, ya know, not Matchbox 20).

Honestly, it’s fairly lame that I am such a lover of books and discussion about books and arguing about books and the search for meaning in books and BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS that it took me to my early thirties before joining a frigging book club. So I beseech you: if you too think books are awesome, do not wait! Get thee to this book club! Or one in your own town! Do it! You will thank me, or at least be happy you followed my advice.

Other discussions had: why we are all pro-library, and how we organize our books. Does anyone else out there adhere to my method of fiction alphabetical by author’s last name, just like a book store? I find it soooo easy to find my books this way, even if keeping them in this order when getting a pile of new books can be a pain. I was definitely an odd ball out for this though.
