Hi. Michael very kindly invited me to participate in this here blog, and I’m super-psyched. Even though I’m taking a time-out from my own site, YA New York (hopefully a short break rather than a long one), I thought I’d stop in here and introduce myself.

So, my name is Sabrina, I’m a Leo, and I like long walks on the beach. Actually, I really do like long walks on the beach, especially early in the morning.

But mostly I like reading (and attempting to write) teen lit. Here’s the problem I’ve encountered, though: In one day, I can go through three books. Seriously. Three. And then, by the time the pub date rolls around, I’ve read about sixty billion other books, and I can’t remember what happened in, for example, Losers by Matthue Roth. (Which is a really great read, and I got to do an interview with Matthue, and it’ll be posted on the site on Oct. 1 if I can remember what the book was about. Zombies? Werewolves? A Russian kid in Philadelphia? I think it’s probably the last one.)

Now, a smart, organized person would write up reviews immediately after reading each book. And then she’d put them all in a queue, to be automagically posted on the release date. But such a person would also probably do her laundry on a semi-regular basis, before the only thing left in her closet is the fancy dress she bought for black tie weddings. Alas, I am not such a person.

Which means that I need Justine Larbalestier to give me an organization fairy. Or an intern slave who will do all the organizing for me. How does one get intern slaves, anyway? Suggestions, anyone?
