It’s been a busy week!

I’m over at the Crooked Book talking about lots of things, including my favorite word. Hint: It waddles.

Aaaand, the first review of My Epic Fairy Tale Fail is in. And it’s a good one! Kirkus says:

“Staniszewski again keeps her tone light and frothy with plenty of wry humor…Middle school friendships offer a nice theme, as does Jenny’s casual acceptance of her fantasy life. The humor is balanced with a poignant subplot when Jenny learns that her long-lost parents disappeared from this very place, leading her to believe that she might be able to find them…Flippant fantasy fun.”

Hooray! Getting this review was a much-needed boost of confidence since I just found out that my deadline for the first Dirt Diary book has been bumped up. I’m a little nervous about getting everything done on time, but I’m sure it’ll all work out. (Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed, as Rachel from The Dirt Diary would say.)

What’s new with you?
