Good afternoon! Today I read a magnificent book about growing up, falling in love, and existing. It's a YA novel called My Heartbeat by Garret Freymann-Weyr, loaned to me by [livejournal.com profile] gl0ry_gl0ry, and I can't get it out of my head. It is marvelously simple and affecting. One might say that it is about the beauty of beginnings, but I would have to say that it's about the pain of endings, and how terrifying and terrible it can be to realize "adulthood."


On a happier note, over at [livejournal.com profile] tor_backstairs, it is time to play "Published or Slush?" again! I know you're all really excited. It took me a while to find the perfect lines for this. I think next month we'll do entire paragraphs!


Now I'm off to eat a pistachio muffin. Catch you later, percolators.
