The How To Be Bad eBook promo (in earlier blog post) is over. But we sold a ton and I am so happy our book reached all those new readers! 

I am in a coffee shop. I am supposed to be writing but I am kind of STUCK. I always get stuck about halfway through a book.

This time, halfway through the book I went to LA for three weeks, crashed the car three times (just fender benders, no one hurt), went to the Magic Castle, had my wallet stolen, had two amusing actor encounters, even got a little inside scoop on the Rock of Ages movie (!!!! you know I can't wait. Roo's dad can't wait, either...) and generally felt like I had a proper beachy touristy Los Angeles experience. 

I also watched more TV than usual. There was cable at the place I was staying. Usually, I don't have cable. Do you know what? So Random on the Disney Channel is really hilarious. I am also into iCarly now. The Fred episode from season two really won me over, where they throw all these talking cabbages. Here's the promo for that episode.
 
And did you know novelist Jennifer Weiner has a sitcom on ABC Family? It's called State of Georgia and stars Raven Symoné. Clip! 

In other news, here is a great librarian article about why you should read YA and what the heck YA is -- by someone who actually understands it very very well.
