Reasons I am freaking out
I can feel one coming on, and here are the reasons why:
1. There is a huge storm brewing and every time the wind blows my office shakes like some of the scarier moments of Wizard of Oz, and I’m reminded of how people in trailer parks always tell TV reporters that the tornado sounded like a train.
2. My office is right next to the train tracks.
3. Cheating at Solitaire has been out for five months and Oprah still hasn’t called!
4. Is anyone else getting concerned about this bird flu business? Does anyone else think it would be even scarier if it were called something other than bird flu?
5. I’D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU BUT THEN I’D HAVE TO KILL YOU will officially be out May 2, but copies will probably start popping up before then. One month until people are reading (and potentially hating) it. Okay…deep breaths.
6. I have it on good authority that Hyperion took 200 copies of the I’D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU BUT THEN I’D HAVE TO KILL YOU advance reader copies to the PLA Convention in Boston last week, so there are already 200 librarians who could be reading (and potentially hating) it!
7. I’m very, very concerned that Aaron Echols is going to somehow get out of prison and hunt down Veronica Mars.
8. I’m equally concerned that the boys on Prison Break won’t get out of prison.
9. The weather is getting warmer, so any day now I’m going to have to endure the dreaded “will the clothes I haven’t worn in six months still fit” experiment.
10. One word: DEADLINES!

1. When I first read 1, I thought it was "scarier moments of Oz" and thought of the HBO show Oz.
6. And I'm one librarian who read & loved I'd Tell You...; my review is at The Edge of the Forest -- YA" (it's the 2nd one).
7. What is up with Aaron? Is he trying to set up Logan, why else would Cordelia (oops, Dick's stepmom) be doing?
9. I know! And I keep eating chocolate and that won't help.
I laughed out loud at #7. You are right to worry about that.
Ahhh, Liz, I'm BLUSHING!
Now, no more reviews for me. I promise! (Gotta get the sequel done first!)
And Kathryn, I'm glad I'm not alone in my concern for our Ms. Mars. Maybe we can do a tag-team surveillance just to keep an eye on her? Or maybe Logan will be doing that now that toothpick chick has been shipped off to boarding school?
#3 - I agree!
You know, I don't know about Oprah these days, you know, her choices of books on for her bookclub. Maybe we should start a petition for you.
But I am looking forward to I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU (sorry for the abbreviated title)...keep us posted on that one!
I have it on good authority that one librarian, who is an authority on children's and young adult books is REALLY going to like I'd Tell You I Love You...
Thanks, J. I hope you're right!
