  1. It's launch day for @mbrockenbrough & her YA debut, DEVINE INTERVENTION! Woohoo! bit.ly/Jykcyl
  2. @Carol_Anne_Shaw @courtney_s Can't wait!
  3. For the PM tweeps: my book's in the @Scholastic Fall Preview! Arthur Levine describes it as "The Avengers in suburbia!" bit.ly/dq1ypJ
  4. @davidanaxagoras I concur, Portlandia is brilliant.
  5. I'm out, folks. Good topic and chat, thanks! #mglitchat
  6. Another one I like is @NatalieLorenzi's FLYING THE DRAGON - it's illustrated by Kelly Murphy, whose work I'm a big fan of. #mglitchat
  7. @sway_author You're welcome! He did terrific stuff with the light coming down through the top of the tree. #mglitchat
  8. @kellandrewsPA There's @kurtisscaletta's TANGLEWOOD TERROR, which evokes (successfully, IMHO) an earlier, pulpier publishing era. #mglitchat
  9. @kellandrewsPA Agreed. And it's a personal thing - some adults will like it, some won't. Kids, though? Seems a bit risky. #mglitchat
  10. @PBWorkshop Oh wow, I agree - the PB cover pushes my buttons much more strongly. #mglitchat
  11. @kellandrewsPA Sure, "dated" is subjective. Sometimes that's actually what the cover designer/illustrator was going for. #mglitchat
  12. @sway_author He's REALLY good. Fantastic work on both covers, yours is gorgeous! #mglitchat
  13. @kellandrewsPA I think the original cover for SMatL looked a teensy bit dated. The new one feels much more contemporary. #mglitchat
  14. @PBWorkshop I like the PB cover for THE YEAR THE SWALLOWS CAME EARLY a lot. The hardcover's not bad, but the paperback is great. #mglitchat
  15. @sway_author Thanks Amber! It was illustrated by Mike Maihack, an ace comic book artist. #mglitchat
  16. @rachelgrinti Thanks Rachel! I love it too.
  17. An upcoming cover that rocks is Sarwat Chadda's THE SAVAGE FORTRESS - bit.ly/LPEmYN #mglitchat
  18. Hey y'all. I really like the cover (among other things) for THE TRUE MEANING OF SMEKDAY. #mglitchat
  19. @ChristinaFarley @Scholastic Wheeeeee!
