Gone Visiting

Today I'm visiting the collaborative blog Book Bloggers International to help celebrate their month-long immersion in the world of comics and graphic novels.

Head on over to check out my thoughts on the C-Word (probably not what you're thinking): Fear of the C-Word.

Once you're there, be sure to read the guest posts from last week and bookmark the site for future articles, reviews, and fun posts about comics and graphic novels. I'm afraid my wish list is going to explode.

I've Been Questioned; or Gone Visiting

Of course you read the fabulous The Debutante Ball blog, don't you? It's a collaborative blog that gives readers a chance to get to know five wonderful debut authors. Every year the members of the ball change. In 2011, one of the Debs is Eleanor Brown the author of The Weird Sisters, and you already know what a great person she is and how much I loved her novel (my review).

Anyway, I was honored and thrilled that Eleanor asked me to visit The Debutante Ball Blog. Come on by and see my answers to the Deb's Interview. You just might learn something new about me.

Blogger Debate: Team Gale or Team Peeta?

Do you follow Scholastic's great blog On Our Minds? You should. But in any case, head on over to read their first Blogger v. Blogger debate.

The first edition is a face-off between me and Michelle from GalleySmith. And the topic is Team Gale or team peeta? No matter which team you're on, be sure to take a moment to read our arguments and then vote.

This was so much fun! I'd like to thank Scholastic and Tyler Reed for asking me to participate. And in case you're wondering . . . Michelle and I are still friends!

451 Fridays: What Book Will I Become?

Today I have a guest post over at As Usual, I Need More Bookshelves. Every Friday, Elizabeth hosts 451 Fridays, an event that was inspired by the Ray Bradbury book. Elizabeth invites a different blogger each week to first list five books that she feels passionate about and then pick which one she would "become" so that the book will never be forgotten.

Today it's my turn, and I hope you'll go over and read my post and tell Elizabeth what you think.

The feature is open to everyone. If you want to participate, let Elizabeth know. She puts an open invitation at the end of each 451 post. Don't be shy.
