This is one of the coolest things that’s ever landed in my inbox. A few months ago, awesome reader Sarah D. was in China and sent me some photographs of Some Girls Are at The Great Wall. She kindly gave me permission to show ‘em off on my blag, so without further ado:

How cool is that?! Thank you so much, Sarah. Also: it is official-official. My books are more well-travelled than I am.
Speaking of Some Girls Are, Angie of Fat Girl, Reading, a blog worth bookmarking and keeping on your radar, gave SGA an incredible review that made my day. On top of THAT, she’s giving away her copy of the book. All you have to do is comment for a chance to win. Check it out here! And since this entry is turning out to be somewhat of a round-up of book news, recently, I’ve done interviews with the wonderful Briony Williamsom and at the awesome Confessions of a Book Geek and you can read them here and here respectively. Thank you for having me on your blogs, ladies!
I’ve been getting a few emails lately asking me about Fall For Anything and why there’s no page up on my site. Well, now there is! You can check it out here. There’s not much there at the moment–just a vague teaser and the promise of more information.
ALTHOUGH I DID GET TO SEE THE COVER ON MONDAY!
Aaaah. I can’t show it to you yet, but oh my God, you guys, it is my most favourite cover of them all. And I felt passionately about the two before it so what I’m saying is I might explode of passionate feelings about the cover of Fall For Anything before I can actually reveal it. For reals. I am trying to figure out if I can hint anything about it just to calm some of my passionate feelings. Hmm. WELL. It is a different cover from the last two! And, where the focal colour (is that what I should call it? I did not go to school for this, guys) for Cracked Up to Be was green and Some Girls Are was red… the focal colour for Fall For Anything is NEITHER OF THOSE COLOURS.

In other news, I am trying desperately to unlock Princess Rosalina on Mario Kart for Wii. It is making me homicidal. BUT I’M GETTING CLOSE.
Oh and I’m writing too.
But mostly, you know. Mario Kart.
I hope you are all having a wonderful week, people!

I’m so excited to hear that you got your cover and that is one AWESOME picture of SGA at The Great Wall. What a thrill!
I so, so cant wait for Fall For Anything. So can’t.
Oh my gosh, it’s so exciting that you not only read my review but liked it and linked to it and, and, and! I think YOU have made MY day! :)
Really, everything in the review is so true. The second I was finished with “Some Girls Are” I wanted to flip it over and read it again. Ah, what a last line! It’s an amazing book, I can’t WAIT to booktalk it!
Thanks again for the mention, and know I am totally dying for a release date for “Fall for Anything” …
YOU ARE A TEASE.
If it’s not red or green, then is it purple, blue, yellow???
GAH! I can’t wait to see the cover.
Wow! That is cool!
OHMYGOODNESS!! (nuff said)
Love, Hannah
Robby: YOU rock! :)
C.K.: Seriously, I am so jealous of my book for being there! And not me! But it’s so cool.
Bee: I hope it’s worth the wait. :)

Also, you are SUCH a cover tease. ;P

That IS cool. Maybe you should start some kind of “flat Courtney” thing– like Flat Stanley– or like those kids who brought flat BradSucks to their video awards thing.
Can’t wait for the new one. Have decided YA is not my genre, but I’ll always read anything you write kiddo.
Danette: Mario Kart fans unite! & Yay!
Emily: BIG BIRD? I LOVE IT EVEN MORE. And I know.
Susan: CAPITALS!
Sue: I saw your move last night and updated my links. Whatever you do, I’m following it. :)
SGA at the Great Wall? So COOL! Excellent pictures too!
FFA teaser is great, or at least it hooked me! Can’t wait to see the new cover and read the book!!
p.s. I love the new picture on your website. Little Courtney was very cute, but I like cows! Or should I say bovines? BC that looks like a bull :)
sruble: Yaaay! Thank you on all counts. :)
