Rosemary Wins Again!

Rosemary Clement Moore made the ALA/YALSA "2010 Best Books for Young Adults".

The list of 90 books, drawn from 203 official nominations, is presented annually at the ALA Midwinter Meeting. The books, recommended for those ages 12-18, meet the criteria of both good quality literature and appealing reading for teens. The list comprises a wide range of genres and styles, including contemporary realistic fiction that reflects the diversity of the teen experience, nonfiction that brings to teens an awareness of the world they live in and its history, and fantastical stories told in both narrative and graphic formats.

I loved that book. Go read it.

Hat tip, Varkat.

When I grow Up I want to be...

...the funny and fabulous Rosemary Clement-Moore!

An absolutely awesome writer who had the chops this year to take the RITA for Best YA novel, for Hell Week, which I reviewed here! If you haven't bought it yet, go buy it, for gosh sakes. Well, start with Prom Dates from Hell.

Oh, and if you pop over to her LJ blog, check out the LOLdog from July 24th. Haz a happy. Check.

There's a picture of her and the other two finalists here.

Gosh, I go to s/l/e/e/p meditate for a couple of m/o/n/t/h/s weeks and great things happen and nobody tells me. Sheesh. Well, I'm busy protecting everyone on the astral plane and doing other bitchin psychic stuff.

Tell ya later.

New Review up : Hell Week by Rosemary Clement-Moore

It just occurred to me that I didn't cross-link here my April 18 review of Rosemary Clement-Moore's Hell Week.

Drat.

Pull Quote:

In Hell Week, the second installment of Rosemary Clement-Moore's Girl Vs Evil series, aspiring girl reporter Maggie Quinn begins attending the local college in Avalon. Her sixth sense, barely acknowledged by Maggie in the wonderful Prom Dates from Hell, is now giving her strong warnings that all is not well in Avalon's Greek Row. (As if it took witchcraft to know that there was something scary there.)
