In My Mailbox

Before I get to the books part of this book post... I am announcing that I have officially signed up for NaNoWriMo. Flamingo1325 is my username for those of who want to follow/friend/etc. I am going to write SlackerBoy which I am incredibly excited about... so in theory in just over a month, I will have my third manuscript for 2010 written which is kind of an awesome feeling. On that note, if my blog slacks off some next month, you now know why. My goal is to not let my blog suffer, but I get a little neurotic and hyper focused when I write, especially when I'm barreling through the draft. So... on that note, I bring you my books.

    Good luck on the writing in November. I just ordered Ship Breaker this morning because I had heard so many good things about it. And I loved The Dark Is Rising. You can see my YA Mailbox here. Happy reading!
