Several things

Several things:
The Treasure Map of Boys launch has RUBY writing an advice column. Yes, even though she's a leper and a famous slut. Yes, even though she's certifiably mental and has been noboyfriend for 37 weeks. She is telling actual, non-fictional human beings what to do!
For librarians and booksellers, here is an adorable, free, downloadable "shelf talker" for the Roo books.
Libba Bray in a cow suit. Her book, GOING BOVINE, comes out Sept 22. This is the best video you'll watch this year, I promise.
Are you following me on Twitter? Because I feel like that's where all my scoops are. It is so much quicker than blogging. And such instant gratification!
FINALLY:
Please come out and see me at teen Author Reading Night, September 9th. This is my only NYC area appearance for The Treasure Map of Boys. And it's a great great lineup.
I'm posting the October calendar here, too, because that's just as awesome a night.
