Dreaming In Books

In lieu of a book review (which I have been behind on since the last few books I've read have either been for Dear Author or really long) I have instead a few tidbits of coolness I've gotten in my inbox that may be of interest to you readers.  For the record, for posting the Shimmer book trailer I am going to get a review copy of the book.  This does not change my opinion of the trailer in the slightest.  I rarely get emails advertising trailers so I figured it wouldn't hurt to post about it.

Inkpop is having a live chat with LAUREN OLIVER on Sunday, March 22, 2011.  I know it's pretty awesome.  I look forward to it so much.  You have no idea just how much.  I probably won't even be able to go, but the idea of talking to Lauren Oliver is pretty rocking.  Her work has consistently impressed me with it's depth and beauty, and I definitely encourage any fans of hers to look into this.  Short of meeting her in real life, this may be the coolest way to get to talk to her.

On a less-exciting but still interesting note, I got a link to the summary and book trailer for Shimmer, the next book in Alyson Noel's middle grade series based on her Immortals books.  I liked the first one quite a bit, and I expect the second to be even better. 



I just discovered something - and it has nothing to do with my email this time. The Vast Fields of Ordinary by Nick Burd, one of my most favorite (if not my favorite) gay YA novels, is coming out in paperback. It is affordable to those who haven't (like me) bought a copy to treasure and love forever. This is a great story that helped me a lot when I first came out, and I cannot recommend it enough to my readers. Here's the purchase link from Amazon (although I have to admit I love the hardcover cover photograph much more.) Buy The Vast Fields of Ordinary at Amazon.
