Check Out My Other Blog!

Hey everyone!

I started this other blog a few weeks ago, and it's easier to keep that one going instead of trying to do both blogs. So, for the time being anyway, I'm going to post on there a lot more than I'm going to post on here. I figure it's better to do one blog well than make a lazy attempt at both.

I may still post on here in the future :)

Come see me at http://thenycnewbie.blogspot.com and learn about my adventures in NYC!

Just a Hiccup!

Remember my last post, about how I was craving these literary sorts of books? Well have no fear! I haven't lost my taste for YA sci fi and fantasy! I'm still reading literary-ish books, but I have a whole list of fantasy books to read.

You see, it happened a few days ago as I was researching publishers. I thought to myself, if I know which imprint of Penguin, for example, publishes YA sci fi and fantasy, then I can focus my efforts into finding a way to work with them. I found out that the Firebird imprint of Penguin does indeed publish just those kinds of books. Some of their authors, whose books I love, are Kristin Cashore, Robin McKinley, Patricia C. Wrede, and Brian Jacques.

I looked next at Simon & Schuster. I discovered that the Simon Pulse imprint published Tamora Pierce, Orson Scott Card, and Scott Westerfield. Whaaat! Yeah, I would die to work at either of these imprints! Now, I have a very large list of their books to read. I'm starting to wonder, how does one find time to read them all?
