1. Lenore Appelhans is winding down another fantastic Dystopian August on her awesome blog, Presenting Lenore. Head over there for reviews and author interviews on some of the most exciting books on YA bookshelves, and on the horizon. If you like dystopian and/or post-apocalyptic fiction for teens, it’s a must.

2. The Hunger Games Trailer on MTV’s VMA’s. (OMG, that was a lot of acronyms. LOL.) Have you seen it? It’s really short. My favorite part is the voice over, to be honest. I think I’m going to like Gale. I also think I might have a thing for Australian male actors in general, but I digress. Are you as excited about this movie as I am? March 23rd cannot come soon enough.

3. For fans of Game of Thrones, check out this incredible mash-up of the opening title song. I think I’ve listened to it 130 147 times over the past day.

4. I have a Facebook Author Page now, which actually felt like a much bigger milestone than I had anticipated. Thanks to those who have followed. Much appreciated.

A quick reminder that I’ll be giving away a signed ARC of UNDER THE NEVER SKY. To enter, either follow the blog or leave a comment. Two more days left–good luck!

Finally, what a relief Irene has come and gone. I hope those of you in her path weren’t’ affected too much, and that you’re safe and sound.

Have a great week, everyone.
