Hey! I’ve got some Fangirl news!

On May 12, 2015, you can get a Fangirl special edition featuring gorgeous fan art and an excerpt from my upcoming Simon Snow novel, Carry On.

BUT WAIT! Why are there three colors?

Because Barnes & Noble gets berry pink; Indigo Chapters gets yellow; and Amazon and other retailers gets bubblegum pink. 

(I feel both EXCITED and SORRY about these color options, because if I was interested in a special edition, the choice would make me crazy.)

The fan art featured in the Fangirl special edition is by some of my favorite Tumblr (and everywhere else) artists: Simini Blocker, Lily Williams, Leela Wagner and Valeria Bogado.

(Something that makes me happy: This is a book about a fan writer, featuring fan art, including canon inspired by fictional fan fiction. haHAha.)

Other details:

  • It’s a hardcover!
  • There’s a ribbon bookmark!
  • And also exclusive Q&As!

Preorder now at B&N, Indigo, Amazon. OR GO INDIE. 

And thank you to everyone who has already read and purchased and made Fangirl fan works. That enthusiasm is the reason my publisher went ahead with this edition!

ATHENS, Ga. - It was in the best seller section of a Barnes & Noble in this college town that Kathy Rackley found a novel story of her own - a young man by the name of Malcolm Mitchell.

"I mean a chance encounter in a bookstore, how wonderful is that?" said Kathy. She had no idea who Mitchell was. "None whatsoever."

And Malcolm didn’t tell her. “I knew they were going to find out,” Mitchell said. “But I wasn’t going to say it.”

Fact is, Rackley may have been the only one in Athens who didn’t know the name Malcolm Mitchell. Number 26 for the University of Georgia Bulldogs was one of the top recruits in the country a few years ago. He’s Georgia royalty.

And presumably, if Rackley had known that, she wouldn’t have stood in that Barnes & Noble talking his ear off about the book club she had just joined.

"I mean he like stepped back and he said ‘You did? You did?’ and he said, ‘Can I join your book club?’" Rackley recalled.

"And I said, ‘I don’t know if you want to join mine. We’re all 40-, 50-, and 60-year-old women.’"

But Mitchell was undeterred. So now, one of the top wide-receivers in the country has been meeting monthly with his book club lady friends.

He’s the only man, and the youngest by a generation — but Mitchell doesn’t care. Nor does he care what anyone thinks.

"Somebody called me a nerd. That’s not a word that I’m used to hearing," he said. But he’s more than okay with the label. "I was proud of it… It’s like a badge of honor to me, knowing where I came from."

Mitchell confessed that when he started college he could only read at about a junior high level, and it bothered him. So he started putting as much effort into his reading game as his football game.

Every free moment, he had a book in his hand. He’s now reading things he never dreamed he could, and although some of the book club selections he would never pick himself, Mitchell seems to enjoy them all.

After everything he’s accomplished, what’s he most proud of?

"I finished the ‘Hunger Games’ series in about two days," Mitchell said.

Wait, but what about the touchdowns?

"That came natural," Mitchell said. "That’s a gift. I had to work to read."

But his greatest talent may lie in his ability to step so outside his comfort zone, to be able to meet people and focus so sincerely on what they have in common, instead of their trivial differences.

Sometimes football makes men great. And sometimes, great men just happen to play football.

September Book Photo Challenge Day 16: OTP

“No, I know,” Levi said. “But it’s not you. You don’t push through every moment. You pay attention. You take everything in. I like that about you—I like that better.”
Cath closed her eyes and felt tears catch on her cheeks.
“I like your glasses,” he said. “I like your Simon Snow T-shirts. I like that you don’t smile at everyone, because then, when you smile at me.… Cather.” He kissed her mouth. “Look at me.”
She did.
“I choose you over everyone.”

I just love them so much.
