- @keepthemuse I really love TNG and Voyager.
- @keepthemuse the first season is so slow, but then … OH MAN, IS IT GOOD.
- @keepthemuse So this didn’t help.
- @keepthemuse This was me until I watched TNG in my early 20s. Turned me into a fan. Was more casual about TOS, but watched a lot of it.
- @Erica_ORourke RIGHT. All the relationship stuff was so surfacey and odd. Like they assumed we were already deeply invested.
- @keepthemuse I am very relieved to have this intelligent Star Trek conversation with someone who agrees with me so neatly.
- @keepthemuse Yep. Exactly. I was skeptical about him being imposing/frightening/supervillainy. But he majorly pulled it off.
- @keepthemuse I really enjoyed the first 20 mins of the Star Trek movie. And all the Kirk/Pike scenes. And Cumberbatch was scarrrry.
- @keepthemuse Sucks to their assmar.
- @keepthemuse I’d trade half those action scenes for character & ESPECIALLY plot development. Give me 5 endings that actually bring closure.
Park, Side A — an “Eleanor & Park” playlist
Posted on December 31st, 2012Another playlist, this time for Park. It’s 100 percent more swoony than Eleanor’s playlist — and includes lots of excerpts from the book. (Also a few spoilers. Maybe don’t read this post if you hate spoilers.) (Though I guess all I’m spoiling is that they fall in love. THEY FALL IN LOVE. YOU HAVE BEEN SPOILED.)
{more}Eleanor, Side A — an “Eleanor & Park” playlist
Posted on December 25th, 2012This is the first of FOUR posts about music and “Eleanor & Park.” Excessive, I know, but I can’t help it . . . When I start a new book, I start a new playlist, too, and I work on them concurrently. With “Eleanor & Park,” the playlists took the shape of mixed tapes for each character. So I ended up with four playlists — two mixed tapes with two sides each.

Behold! The “FANGIRL” cover! Is it not GLORIOUS?
Posted on December 18th, 2012Presenting the cover of “FANGIRL,” my third book, which comes out in fall 2013. When I first saw the concept for this cover, I SHOUTED OUT LOUD. Actually … it was more of a squeal. A shouted-out-loud squeal. Click through to see the cover in its glorious entirety — and to hear me fangirl all over Noelle Stevenson, the illustrator.
{more}Hope my kids ask Santa for books . . .
Posted on December 10th, 2012Me, thinking to myself:
“I should write a blog post about all the books my kids are getting for Christmas . . .”
And then:
“But what if one of them reads my blog . . .”
Three seconds later:
“HAHAHAHAHA! Nobody reads my blog . . .”
Two seconds after that:
“HAHAHAHA! My kids can’t even read . . .”
Then:
“So why have I bought them so many books?”
