The  movie of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist opens on Friday Oct 3. I am so excited! It's from the awesome novel by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn, and it stars Michael Cera.  

The YA for Obama ning is fun-city. I uploaded a highly highly amusing video. 

And today there's a blog by Megan McCafferty! 

Yesterday, Cecily von Zegeisar (Gossip Girl) and Scott Westerfeld (The Uglies). 

Also, on the subject of politics and Christianity  -- since I know many Christians are torn about the Republican platform's pro-life stance versus other things Obama's platform has to offer -- here are a couple interesting and entertaining pieces by friends of mine on the subject.  All three are YA novelists. All three are practicing Christians, which just in case you're wondering, I myself am not. I am agnostic.

 

First, on her blog, Lauren Myracle gives us a free and never-before seen TTYL convo. The girls are back!  (Her new book is BLISS by the way and it's getting starred reviews and stuff. I am scared to read it. Apparently it is dead scary.)

Then John Green (Looking for Alaska) writes about Faith and Science and Sara Zarr  (Sweethearts) writes about being a theologicially conservative Christian and a political independent. 

Last: I am reading Green's Paper Towns. Nya  nya nya nya nya!  It is so good. (It is not scary. At least, not YET). It comes out mid-October.
