Went to a wonderful reading at the Jefferson Market Library tonight featuring:

Sarah Mlynowski - Gimme a Call
Elizabeth Scott - The Unwritten Rule
Sarah Mlynowski - Gimme a Call
Rachel Vail - Brilliant
All of the panelists were witty and gave thoughtful answers to the (surprisingly) awesome audience questions. The two best questions (Do your characters ever help you through real life situations? Do you ever feel bad for your characters when you have to write them into a bad situation) by Rachel Vail's son, a 5th grader. After the reading I complimented him on asking such smart questions and Rachel Vail gave me an ARC of her newest book Brilliant and she even autographed it: To Elizabeth- clearly a BRILLIANT girl. Yay! I'm excited to read it. The short section that she read was very engaging and the character was concerned with grammar and word play!
I loved it last night! And I definitely want to read Brilliant and the others in the series. It was one of my fav's in the group and I really enjoy her voice :o)
