(or honoured, if you happen to be reading this in England)
FIVE FLAVORS OF DUMB has been nominated for the 2012-13 Gateway Award. Actual Live Teens get to vote on which book should win, which makes this award particularly meaningful.
DUMB was also selected as a 2011 Notable Book for Global Society. Here, the chair of the selection committee explains what the award means, and why it matters. It’s a very interesting and valuable insight.
And super blogger Audrey named DUMB her book of the month. Piper’s very grateful. And so, for that matter, am I!
A Happy Labor Day weekend to all.
That’s great news! So well-deserved. =)
Thanks, Capillya. And congrats again on the blog anniversary. You’ve gathered a really faithful readership over the past year (me included), and that speaks to the quality of the posts. It probably helps that 99 percent of us agree with you on every cover!
I’m giving you an heads-up that I’ll be doing a short review (more like a collection of thoughts about the craft) of Five Flavors of Dumb for my blog. I’ll like it if you see it once I finish the book (approaching the climax at high-speed).
Thanks for the heads-up! I’ll look forward to reading what you think of DUMB. Good luck on your own road to publication!
