I love that book so much! Have you read any of A.S. King's #YALit? It's weird. It's great. :D

Sneak peek at the writing, editing & publishing process for my debut #MG novel in an annotated ARC. This is getting a little messy, so I'm adding a FREE signed hardcover edition so it's easier to read the actual book, if you want to. #BooksForMaui ends tomorrow night! tinyurl.com/4npu6hncTwo
