Hooray - Pamela Ribon, author of the popular Why Girls Are Weird (July 2003), is reading Carrie Pilby, according to her blog. Our books kept getting mentioned in the same articles, so she finally plunged in. I have to read her book, too, but I've heard good things. "Why Girls Are Weird" would have been a great title for my own book.

She writes: "Worst cover ever. I'm reading it in manuscript form, and it must be good, as this copy is so over photocopied that most of the punctuation is gone, and I'm still swept up in the story."

Thanks! In case some of you readers don't get the 'over-photocopied' bit, I guess that's a "slipped" copy that got through script readers. I'll explain sometime.
