Rubbing Elbows With The Stars

As most of you know, I'm a wannabe Disco Mermaid. They are so cool and supportive and have been great when I'm freaking out about something (thanks Robin). That's why I was sooo happy when I heard yesterday that Jay Asher:



author extraordinaire of this book:



has now landed hisself on the New York Times Bestseller list! He worked so hard on this book and nobody cares about his audience more than he does (and he gives great speeches). It has really resonated with teens all over the country and is a book that is not just a great read but serves a higher purpose without being preachy or annoying. Yay Jay!

On this date: In 1852, Uncle Tom's Cabin is published.
