I watched this three times. I like when the puppy tries to bite the water. It’s the simple things in life.
acuorre asked: I've been saving up my money, I love reading, I can't wait to finally buy your book (: I'm so excited.
-danihey- asked: I just finished your book. It was amazing! you are one of my favorite authors now ;p
dancingsecrets asked: I love Across the Universe. I just finished it last week at work. ;D
I was a little sad at first because I thought the story was over, but now that I know there will be more I'm SO happy. <3

alpha-lima-lima-papa asked: Just wanted to tell you that I finished Across the Universe. I'm a high school librarian with a love for dysoptian YA lit, and this one will definitely be on my list of recommendations! I look forward to reading more of your work.
brittanienycole-deactivated2011 asked: G-rev I must say I miss you, and miss joking around with you on a daily basis. So I demand to know when you will be up for a little stalking on my part. I could sit outside your favorite coffee shop and watch you if you would like. Also, how much do you think that signed copy of your first chapter I have will go for now? I am broke. O_O
optimistlovestories asked: Would it be possible to receive a signed copy of your book in exchange for signed copies of my original photography. You can choose which ever pictures you want and tell me the size to print them. Also, I would love to have lunch with you one day. I miss you a lot Grevis.
gaepolisner asked: how does it feel to be able to write, New York Times Best Selling... ? ;) (I don't know how to use Tumblr.)

Merry Sisters of Fate - Guest Fiction: "The Most... →
Today, I was the guest author at Merry Sisters of Fate. My short story is “The Most Precious Memory.”
I like numbers like this.
This year we will experience 4 unusual dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 NOW go figure this out: take the last 2 digits of the year that you were born plus the age that you will be this year and it WILL EQUAL … 111
Tracking down my online haters - CNN.com →
I’m still new to the game, and even I have seen this to a certain extent. Interesting article about how the Internet provides anonymity—and spurs vitriolic (and undeserved) responses to material.
The Sound of Home
My husband snores. My dog snores. There is nothing that tells me I’m home more than the sound of deep snoring.
shakethecobwebs asked: I find the reversible cover of the book to be really interesting because when I first saw it, I automatically related the two designs with the fact that the story was told in two different P.O.V's. I also thought that the face cover was more feminine, and probably represented Amy, while the spaceship cover more greatly represented Elder. But after reading the book, that thought is completely...
Anonymous asked: Hello, I'm a book reviewer (and well, I just LOVE reading), and I wanted to say how much of an inspiration you are to me. On your blog and on here you always post the most awesome and thoughtful things, and I especially loved how you explained your idea of true love. I agree completely that it's not at all like Romeo and Juliet, and I really respect that you were willing to make Elder...
themyscirian-deactivated2012032 asked: I am really looking forward to reading Across The Universe, but none of the bookstores in my area have it in stock (yet) and I have yet to convince my mom to buy it for me online. Aside from that, being a young writer without really any direction, I was just wondering how many stories you wrote before finding success with Across The Universe?
Earth may soon have a second sun →
This is the kind of thing that fascinates me. Also: part of me wants to see it SO BAD and part of me is SO SAD that Betelgeuse will be gone.
Hyperbole and a Half →
WHY AREN’T YOU ALREADY READING HYPERBOLE AND A HALF?!
emberlin asked: Read ATU yesterday, and I love it! I know there is more...so many unknowns. In some ways I like it that way, because I can speculate and decide what I think could or would happen. Will we ever see more from the Godspeed and/or Centauri-Earth?
