One author that just cracks me up on Twitter is Maureen Johnson. And there is a book about her, with some very humorous, yet I hear somewhat or mostly truthful tidbits. See my picture below where I met her last year at BEA.
Here is the information about Maureen Johnson: The Novel: The Board Game: The Musical on Ice from Goodreads:

How about you, have you heard of this? Do you know where I might be able to get my hands on a copy? This is a book I would kill to get my hands on!!
What about you this week? What book/books are you dying to get your hands on?
I've never heard of either the author or the book, but both seem awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteReally? If you are on Twitter, you need to follow Maureen Johnson, she is hilarious!

DeleteI was looking for a follow by email but i dont see it to follow your blog by email. Will you put it on your blog?
ReplyDeleteI don't have one on here yet. I will see if I can figure out how to do that, and when I do, I'll let you know!

ReplyDeleteWill you email me when i can subscribe my email?
As soon as I figure out how to add that, I will definitely contact you.
DeleteI am familiar with Johnson's writing, which I really enjoy, but not this book-will have to look in to it more!
ReplyDeleteI just found it by chance one day, and thought I could buy it, but then they told me they'd already sold it. Now I'm on a hunt to find it!
