FYI:
A gaggle of teen authors will be doing their thing at the Jefferson Market Branch of the New York Public Library tonight. Six p.m., Sixth Avenue at 10th Street.
From the FaceBook page:
Micol and David Ostow: So Punk Rock
Elizabeth Scott: Love You Hate You Miss You
Delia Sherman: The Magic Mirror of the Mermaid Queen
Jennifer Smith: You Are Here
Suzanne Weyn: Distant Waves
Jake Wizner: Castration Celebration
Jessica Wollman: Second Skin
Of these books, I’ve only read Distant Waves, but I can tell you that David Levithan, the venerable author, editor and event organizer, has excellent taste. (Oh, and Distant Waves is awesome.)
Hopefully I’ll be able to snag copies of some of these books for you tonight, as well as taking pics and writing up the event for those of you who are not in New York or who are unable to make it to tonight’s reading.
But if you’re free, and you’re in or near NYC, please do come. It should be a blast!
PS. Elizabeth Scott is crazy prolific. I just read Something, Maybe, which debuted in April, and it turns out that Love You, Hate You, Miss You is her brand new book out this month. Wow!
