UPDATE: UN-Mark Your Calendars!

UPDATE: Unfortunately, due to the recent weather-related events here in NJ (Hurricane Sandy and then the snowstorm--which I learned was named Athena)--the Ellen Hopkins event at the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library has been cancelled. No word on a rescheduled date; I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Hey, all my NJ peeps! The one and only Ellen Hopkins will be visiting the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library on Tuesday, November 13 at 7pm to promote her newest adult verse novel, Collateral.

I've seen Ellen twice before, for both a YA release and her first adult release, and I do have to stress that there is a reason some of her books are considered...adult. The tones and language of these novels are decidedly...racier...than her YA stuff. This won't be a book talk for younger teens, let's put it that way.

Still, having said that, if you're in the area that evening and you're...not a younger teen LOL, you should definitely plan to attend! Here's the link to the event on the Ocean County Library website where you can get more info and register:

Let me know in the comments if you'll be there, and we can meet up! It's refreshing to be able to attend an author event that I won't have to drive an hour plus to get to!!

Enjoy your reading!
