Three REALLY BIG things.
Thing the first:
My favorite book of the past year, THE DISREPUTABLE HISTORY OF FRANKIE LANDAU-BANKS is a finalist for the National Book Award!
Whoo hoo!
I totally called it.
So big congratulations to fabulous person, E. Lockhart! Also, big congrats to the other finalists!
Thing the second:
Tonight's the night the contemporary authors take over Night Bites over at the Readergirlz Forums!
That's right! If you want to chat with Maureen Johnson, Justina Chen Headley, or yours truly tonight's your chance.
Just join the Readergirlz Myspace Group and be there at 9:00 Eastern, 8:00 Central, etc. etc TONIGHT, Wednesday, October 15th.
There's really no telling what will happen. Seriously. I'm a little concerned that Maureen and Justina will figure out they're way cooler than me.
It's happened before.
Thing the third:
I am incredibly pleased to tell you all that I am keeping TWO of the pairs of walking/running shoes that I recently ordered because they both actually seem to fit.
I've been walking in both pairs for about a week now and I've been band-aid free that whole time.
It's a very big day.
For those of you who are interested, both of the winning pairs are by Mizuno.
One pair is the Wave Creation 9 and the other is the Wave Inspire 4.
Of course, they both might turn on me tomorrow, but so far so good!
See you tonight at the Readergirlz Forum!

I am not watching that but I am watching the Presidential Debate on NBC.
Yay, Ally!

Ooh...presidential debate in the lecture hall or rgz chat...tough call. I might do both.
I can't wait for 9:00!!!!
Ally- First off i must let you know that I absolutely adore your book. Recently i accidentally dropped my copy of LYKY into my pool so went to my local target to purchase a new copy. I just started/finished it today and noticed that pg 254 is completely missing! I have already thrown away the receipt but am extremely upset that i can no longer find out what happens to Cammie right before she gets abducted by her mom and Mr. Soloman. I am distraught. What do you think I should do??? :( its just so sad...
YAY!! i really hope that i can chat with you tonight!!! i cant wait!!!! oh and congrats on finding some good and non painful shoes!!!! :D
Ally!
You were the one who got me to buy/read The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks when you posted about it in an earlier blog. I loved it! Thanks for recommending it! I have a hard time staying with books. I only read them if I really like them. I really liked yours, twilight and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks! Thanks!
I'm really happy that you're shoes worked out for you. My aunt has the same foot problem so I'll have to tell her about those shoes. :]
Oh and I'm sad because I can't get on the readergirlz night bites with you tonight because my whole family is going out for dinner but I really wish I could. Oh well...maybe another time.

Ally, in case you didn't get the email I sent you, I will be there using my step-dads myspace, one that will probably mention Killer Kite productions, by Jud (justin) Kite. SInce i am twelve, my mom won't let me have one of my own. it sucks, but you gotta do what you gotta do. i've been looking forward to this for a week. see you there!
I dont have a myspace either :( BUT congrats to E. and frankie for being named finalist and Yay!!! YOU FOUND SHOES!!
oh, ally, change of plans. jud is going to get me my own myspace account! yay! but it's just for today, he's going to delete it tomorrow. poo. but i get to chat with you! i don't know what my username will be, since he's making it don't expect it to be extra cool or anything (just don't tell him that!), but i will tell you that it's me. i cant wait~! i'm so excited! yay!
Congrats on the shoes! And on the awesome chat tonight! It'll be great!

My sister has Disruptable History. She said it was really good though I have yet to read it.
Congrats on finding good shoes! I don't usually have problems with new shoes (I just stick with Converse). I don't even have problems with heels (when I have to wear them). Everyone says I can glide really well in wearing heels. It's a curse. ;)
Still not going to be at the ReaderGirlz thing. But it sounds cool. Will it be recapped on the blog?
Scott Westerfeld (My other favorite author) also has that same picture of E. Lockharts book.
I tried to join that readergirlz thing and I don't know if I was accepted yet.
Yay for E.! I'm so happy for her!
And it was such a pleasure to have you at the rgz group forum, Ally! Definitely a trio of cool tonight. Thank you!
Hey, the Wave Inspire 4 is my cross country training shoe! They soooooo totally rock! (as in, my knee doesn't kill me when I wear them, which is good... :) )
And I wish I could have chatted w/ u last night but A) My internet is screwed. Big time. and B) I had a cross country meet about an hour away from school/home and C) homework sucks. Majorly.
So, my question is... will there be a transcript of your chat last night, or is it still classified?
I really enjoyed The Disreputable History, and I am so bummed that I couldn't join you for the chat. Actually, I don't think that they accepted me as a part of their group, but it's okay though, because I had Bible study. Congrats on finding TWO new pairs of shoes! :)
AWWWWW!!! I wish I had a Myspace so I could ask you some questions about your book! (Um, could you possibly talk about this in your next blog thing: Who do you like better for Cammie- Zach or Josh?) In my opinion I like Zach because he's smarter and he reminds me of Rhett Butler from Gone With the Wind! Lol, I don't know if you have read that book or not, but I love it and thats why I love Zach for Cammie!! Pretty please with a cherry on top will you mention who you like better for Cammie in your blogs!!???
#1 Fan of your AWESOME books
How was the chat? I hope it went well. Too bad I couldn't make it, I would have really like to go!
This is kinda off-subject but why don't you have your other Ally books on here (cheating at solitare?)
I really want to read E. Lockharts new book so I put it on my wishlist
I really wish I coulda talked on readergirlz but I had church and volleyball so I couldn't go on...
Well gotta go
YOur awesome ally
Hey, so I thought I should tell you about this wicked series I have been reading from my library. They are called The Midnighters. They are incredibly good (not as good as yours though). Just thought you should know.
How many of you have heard the audiobook to I'd Tell You I love you? Is it worth buying?
Um, ALly? Hello-o? Why aren't blogging? Are you okay? Hellooooo-ooooo?
I've read Midnighters! It was really good. Though I found out how the last book ended before I finished reading it and I still haven't finished. I also liked Scott Westerfeld's other series, Uglies. :)
When will the blog be updated?
Congrats on FINALLY finding good shoes, Ally!! You can afford $130 SHOES!!! Wow, I wish I could. Maybe I should become an author then lol.=D
I'm so glad for E.!That is one of my favorite books as well. I just got that and CMH in the mail a couple weeks ago from B&N.
I'm happy for you! That's wonderful that you found shoes that won't turn on your blood and cause your skin burst open. Yay Ally!
