I like the random acts of publicity idea! And I read through your post about having been blogging for a year. Congrats! A lot has happened! I know you quit your teacher's job to focus on your writing. Sometime you'll have to tell us if it was worth it. So many authors say, "Don't quit your day job." With still months before the release of your book, are you feeling financial pressure to return back to the classroom? It would make for an interesting post to hear your answers!

Thanks for posting about this book. I love that Darcy organized this.

Thanks for telling about this book. I haven't tried it, but I'd like to.

I recently read a book about an autistic boy...or, it didn't say so maybe he had aspergers syndrome...and I loved it. It's called The Reinvention of Edison Thomas. Give it a try.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up on this one! BTW - I left something for you in my bloghttp://christinefonseca.wordpress.com/

I recent;y hosted an author on my blog and now I'm reading one of her YA books: WHAT WOULD EMMA DO? by Eileen Cook. I'm really enjoying it.

I won a copy of Livvie Owens Lived Here last month and read it over a weekend. The trailer has almost a sinister feel to it, which is not what this book is about at all.

I wrote a review for Livvie on Goodreads (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7742396-livvie-owen-lived-here) that includes the reasons why I thought this was a great book.

Great comments, guys.

Jody, great post idea.

Natalie, isn't Darcy great? I might have to focus on her for my Friday Random Act.

Sally, Edison Thomas is on my reading list. I've heard lovely things about it.

Christine, thanks again for the award!

Jennifer, thanks for promoting a title.

Tom, the trailer worked for me. It reminded me of the confusion an autistic child often feels while trying to make sense of the world.

Oooh, that trailer is so haunting. Intriguing.

Thanks for posting this, Caroline.

I love finding books unexpectedly that I end up loving!
