Sneaking this one in under the wire... It's still Tuesday, but you've got a new DJ on the 1's and 2's. Sarah's busy moving to England (maybe) so I'm filling in with the tweet-ness this week. Hope you don't mind! I'll try to keep things fun on this warm summer night.
Quick reminder: You've got one more day to enter our giveaway for Sarah Dessen's THE MOON AND MORE. Just click over to our interview post with her and leave a comment. We'll announce the winner later this week!
First and foremost, if you haven't seen the #YABooksWithALetterMissing tweets, YOU MUST. Epic Reads posted a great roundup, and we've got a few more funnies to share.

Btw, if you missed ALA or Leaky Con this week, you weren't the only one...
Reading all the #ala2013 tweets and feeling sooo jealous I can't be there & also super grateful for twitter so that I can live vicariously.

And here's some spare change for your writing-tip jar.
Look, I'm not saying "Add me to your YA romance as the brooding, sexy love interest." All I'm saying is nothing could go wrong if you do.

I know this is random and a bit cliche and everything, but. But. It always amazes me that words can make us FEEL.

Great round-up, Kristan! I love Stephanie Perkin's LeakyCon tweet- she looks like Ginny with her red hair! haha
Guess who's dj-ing for the rest of days? ;)
Kristan, you're the best!! xx
This was a great roundup-as someone who loves humor, I really enjoyed JLB's Braised by Wolves :)
Now I want a book called Braised by Wolves. There a lot of snippets of wisdom here, especially the Lowry quote regarding dystopias being folktales. Thanks for compiling it all!
awesome compilation :) the titles with missing letters thing on twitter was a lot of fun. i like what amy zhang said at the end about words. truth.
