Wow, are you people in luck.
Today is, so far, a WAY better day than yesterday. Huzzah! Thanks to everyone who sent notes and basically made sure I wasn't lying on my apartment floor and listening to Elliott Smith on repeat or something like that.
Which reminds me, "Either/Or" is on sale at Amazon for $2.99. If you haven't already, it would behoove you to purchase it immediately.
(Ha. "Behoove." What a great word.)
So to make up for yesterday's doom & gloom, I bring you some fun things today. Namely, "Audrey" Around the World.
So far, "Audrey, Wait!" has sold in 11 other countries, including Israel, Sweden, France, and Germany. I recently got to see some artwork from some foreign book jackets and I thought you might enjoy. Let's hop to it.
The UK
Italy
The Netherlands
Korea (this one is now the wallpaper on my phone)
I'll keep you posted on any others that make their way to me.
And finally, apropos of nothing else, I bring you my favorite IM conversation of the past 24 hours.
Me: (during a particularly melodramatic moment) Can we go to NYC so I can be trampled by some horses in Central Park?
Aaron: I'm sure we can get you trampled by horses without having to sit in coach for 5 hours.
I seriously and without irony adore my friends.
omigosh-coolest-covers-ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I promise I'm not really that girly or dramatic, but just...omigosh, concerts, too?! Ahhh! I'm in heaven. Your blog looks like a page in thecoolhunter.net (definitely see it, by the way). Although, I think you're missing a Stars concert in August. I like the Korea cover the most, I think. I can't even tell, I'm so happy. Just......yay!!!

Glad your day is better! =] =]
OH MY GOSH: THOSE COVERS ARE BEYOND AMAZING. I just want to hang them up on my walls and gaze upon their awesomeness forever. My favorites are Italy & Korea. Korea, especially- Audrey & James are adorable, and I love the details: Bendomolena, the ice cream, the CDs, the, wait, is that. Evan?!? Haha, omg, I didn't even see little Evan w/ his guitar (guitar?) there. xD Anyways, all the covers are so so beautiful. I want to buy them all. :O
Have a great day, filled with more awesomely IM conversations :D Friends rock; they always make my day.

I just read your book yesterday - I meant to read for a bit while I waited for my husabnd, but I ended up reading the whole thing in one quick rush. It was just that fun and readable.
I'm in a library science grad program right now, with an emphasis in youth and children services, so I read a lot of YA books, and this is one of the most enjoyable books I've read all year.
I absolutely can't wait to see what you come out with next.
