Books for the Teenage!
March 11, 2008I just heard that The Au Pairs: Crazy Hot and Blue Bloods: Masquerade have both been listed in this year’s New York Public Library Books for the Teenage!
Yay!
This is a very important list of YA books as a lot of other libraries use it to order books, and also, it makes editors and publishers happy. And authors too. I’m totally psyched. There’s a party and everything (maybe red-carpet? A girl can hope!) But I won’t be in NYC to partake in the celebration. Oh well! I will just celebrate here on my own.
Champagne kisses and caviar dreams, everyone!

Congrats! I’ve read Blue Bloods and Masquerade twice, each. I read them when they first came out, and again on Friday and Saturday. When I read Masquerade for the second time, I finished it in a little under 3 hours. I read faster when I’m really into a book. Please finish a third soon. Thanks and can’t wait to read it!!!!

On March 16, 2008 at 8:47 pm, Sarah had this to say:
Whoo! Congrats. I really like your Blue Bloods series; they’re incredibly original and refreshing, especially for vampire books.
I mean, ever since Twilight came out, everyone’s been publishing crappy vampire book after crappy vampire book, but you’ve created something insanely good. I love all of the plot twists and turns. I can so picture Blue Bloods as a great movie.
Can’t wait for #3!
On March 17, 2008 at 10:42 am, Sarah had this to say:
Hey, I just finished readin the Twilight series by Meyer and I was “thirsty” for more vampire books. I heard about your Blue Blood Books. I read them and absolutly fell in love with them. I think you created two great stories for us teenagers. Congrats on making the YA book list! GO YOU Melissa!!!!
