This week for the YA Indie Carnival, we are writing personal ads for famous characters. I just arrived back from Washington D.C., so my post is a day late which gave me the wonderful opportunity to peruse the ads by my fellow carnies first. They are so much fun! Be sure to check out Suzy Turner’s ad for Katniss Everdeen and play along with KC Blake by guessing the character the ad is about.

This week, the YA Indie Carnies are sharing their triumphs and expressing their gratitude for a wonderful 2012.

You wouldn’t think that two pre-teen boys would Continue reading “YA Indie Carnival: Love Triangles”
It took New Moon reaching theaters before I would finally admit to being a Twi-Mom. To mark the release of the last film of the saga, I’m sharing my journey from Clueless to Twihard.
So where did it start for me? Back in 2008, I was playing around with Flair in Facebook. You remember that? It was (still is) that FB app where you collect and share virtual buttons to put on your virtual cork board. Anyway, I was doing a search for some of my fave things and I searched Continue reading “Countdown to Dawn: Clueless to Twihard”
