Kindred

I've been so, so, so behind (I apologize to The Misfits - I do dearly wish to weigh in on recent discussions. Please don't take me to be a permanently delinquent member). It seems that award season has passed me by entirely. How? But I feel, as of today, that I've finally, hopefully, maybe gotten caught up and can get back to my life of reading and then analyzing to death what I've read.

First up: Abigail Jones and Marissa Miley's Restless Virgins.  It's not YA fiction, but it counts for my purposes. I'm sure a lengthy post will follow.

My "to-read" pile is miles high as it is, but I have to say I am beyond psyched about the roster of books being released this year (Portman and Zarr and Green, oh my!).

I will close by confiding my vain blogger's hope that just one person besides me read Wendy McClure's awesome article about Superbad in the most recent issue of Bust and thought of me. I feel my first ever letter to the editor is in the works....
