Real Live Boyfriends, and holiday books for teens and tweens
December 12, 2010
Real Live Boyfriends, the fourth book in the series that starts with The Boyfriend List, comes out Dec 28. Not in time for Christmas (or Hannukah!) but in time for post-holiday sales and using of gift cards.
For tour dates in the NYC area, keep your eyes here.
