Thank you, Justina…

(…now I know what you were talking about.)


And the Brain Trust Award goes to…

In one of those “you’re the last person to know” sort of scenarios, I got a note on Facebook from author Justina Chen Headley last week, congratulating me on “the Kirkus shout-out.” I thought she’d just read their review that had come out in June (goodness knows I’m behind reading reviews) and I thought kind smiley thoughts, and went on with my life.

TODAY I find out that MARE’S WAR has been included on the Kirkus Reviews “Best Young Adult Books of 2009.”

OHHHH!

NOW I get it.
