    I hope your dad is doing better. Thanks for all your hard work on WriteOnCon.

  51. Oh. My. Gosh. 1000 followers! I bow at your awesomeness. I'm still working toward 100 :-)

    I'm not sure , I think the one I want the most doesn't come out until winter or spring 2011 but I'm dying to read LIAR'S SOCIETY by Lisa and Laura. I also am interested in reading MATCHED and THE DUFF.

  54. Shelli, you always say interesting things! As for fall books, I think I've read them all thanks to BEA, so I'm not sure what else there is!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hi! I'm looking forward to The Duff by Kody Keplinger! It comes out the day before my birthday!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Wow...congrats on a huge milestone. Nice.

    As for fall expectations....I'm stoked for Mockingjay with the rest of the world. I'm also excited for Terry Brooks's latest book (even though I've fallen behind in my reading of his stuff).

    Granted, I'm so far behind on my TBR pile that I really don't need any new books to come out since they just put me farther behind. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  57. Woot! Go, Shelli!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Congrats on hitting a thousand. That's a whole lotta peeps!

    Does Mockingjay count as fall? The sad thing is my kids don't go back to school until the day after it comes out. The difficult decisions in my life -- ignore the kids on their last day of summer or wait til they're back at school to read the book!

  65. I'm a new follower. Not a lurker, just haven't been to this corner of the blogosphere until just now. :) Thanks for the contest! This sounds great... for the fall I'm interested really intently on The DUFF and Matched, but thanks to several people I'm getting an ARC of The DUFF and a pre-order of Matched has been organised. Yay! :D

    Some others that I'm waiting on for the Fall are...Extraordinary, Paranormalcy, Anna and the French Kiss, ooh! and The Mermaid's Mirror (which I read on Netgalley, but would love a physical copy of!). Not sure if these are all Fall releases though...

    Congrats on the 1000 followers! That's a tremendous effort, right there! I'm half way to 300 followers. :P

  67. I'm a new follower, previously (I suppose) a lurker. There are a ton of awesome books that I'm looking forward to for the fall, but the main four are Plain Kate by Erin Bow, The Exiled Queen by Cinda Williams Chima, Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld and Tortall and Other Lands by Tamora Pierce.

    Congratulations on the followers!

    I guess I am a Lurker. I wonder if I will need medication for it? Does it itch? Haha!!

    Congrats and I am dying to read Crescendo. I loved Hush, Hush.

    Should I admit that I am 37 but prefer most YA books? Too late now.

    Awesome about the followers!

    Cheers, all the way from Australia,

  76. I'm actually going to cheat and say two books I'm looking forward to...

    1. Matched by Ally Condie. I've heard such great things about this and I don't read must dystopian but I want to start. Plus, I swear I had the exact same premise idea at one point so I'm super excited to read a book based on it! LOL

    2. Finding Delilah by Sarah Ockler. I loooooved her debut and did a whole big 20-day countdown for it on my blog. So I'm super excited for this one, of course.

    The DUFF is one that I'm really looking forward to.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Congrats! I'm really really looking forward to...

    Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick. Why? Two words: Patch Cipriano.

    Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. I loved Cassie's way of writing. She really dwells on show-not-tell. The feelings of the characters can be felt so easily.
