You were leaving the Carolyn Mackler signing and I was in it, so I didn't get to say hello...:( very sad face.<br /><br />Those are amazing quotes from everyone though. Thanks for sharing. And I really dislike most celebrity books as well. Publishing is hard, and they can do it b/c of who they are so much easier...not really fair<br /><br />laurenShooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747205010041270016.post-19962158788420091012010-05-29T10:49:47.282-07:002010-05-29T10:49:47.282-07:00Wonderful post, Stephanie.

All really, really good things to remember when writing YA, and sort of explains why it is that so many adults are drawn to reading YA.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994224166378180353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747205010041270016.post-79747982126517064322010-05-29T10:49:10.889-07:002010-05-29T10:49:10.889-07:00Thanks for being a note-taker, Stephanie!

Most of them are just wealthy and really don't care about other people. Some are actually nice and normal people (Ellen, Sophia Bush,). Those quotes are amazing and very true. I might have to copy some of those down, haha.Ashleynoreply@blogger.com
