In 2008, we chatted with author Lisa Yee in person. In May 2010,
we picked her novel Absolutely Maybe for our book club discussion. Now it's 2014, and Lisa's about to reveal...
7 Things You Don't Know About Me1. I fail at taking naps, but want to get good at them.
2. Telephone conversations make me anxious.
3. I once had a pet chicken named Herbie Gordon.
4. Last year I rode a camel in the Dubai desert.
5. I am frequently confused over, where to put commas.
6. One time, while running the spotlight for a community theater production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, I was daydreaming and left Joseph in the dark for about a minute.
7. I was never asked back to run the spotlight.
Remember, we're catching up with spotlighted authors* all month long here at readergirlz, so come early and comment often! :)
* Yes, that was intentional. You must have seen that coming.
Ahem, the note begins,
An official announcement: Nothing But Ghosts
was picked by the postergirlz to be a recommended read in the newest issue of readergirlz, to accompany this month's featured title, Absolutely Maybe
, by Lisa Yee. Being chosen by the postergirlz is like coming home to a place that embraced me more than a year ago, challenged me to become the first readergirlz author in residence, and continues to bring enduring friendship into my life. Thank you, then, to all of you, for this and more.
Elsewhere.... It is because Becca at
Bookstack writes such incredibly intelligent and thorough reviews (and because her site is so gorgeous to look at) that I am so often there, learning from her. Today I tuned in only to discover this moving
review of The Heart is Not a Size. Becca, thank you so much.

Let the sunshine in. :)
*big smiles*
Happiness to you on another well deserved recognition from readergirlz :)
I finally received it! I'm reading it now! Yay!!! And. It. Is. Awesome. I was going to say something else, but the thought has already fled my brain.
Oh yeah! I meant to say, when you receive your next check from the publisher or whoever/however that works, remember a tiny piece of that is from me :) lol
Welcome home. :~)
Well done, both postergirlz and Becca.
