Hard to believe that company is now having financial problems. I also really liked "The Homeopathic Treatment of Hemroids." Can't tell you why.

Any friend of Mr. McClung's is a friend of mine! Glad you check the blog. I hear he's a great teacher. He'd have to be to be willing to have a video camera on the class all day, every day! Shelby, I want to be you when I grow up. Catch-22. Very interesting and intellectual choice! Micah, Francine Rivers has the biggest fan club ever for that book. That's so cool. Sarah, I forgot to mention, sometimes I like to pull up that episode of Saved By the Bell on YouTube just for fun. I do it at least a few times a year. There's never...enough...time...Zach...I'm so scared!!! Kept me off of no-doze though! Camille, S. E. Phillips is just different. It's not standard issue romance. Any time I read one of her books, I'm like, oh to just have lunch with this woman and listen to her quick-witted, razor-sharp comeback self. And Charlotte's Web is a fabulous book. But it pretty much scarred me for life. Yolanda! Any friend of Mr. McClung’s is a friend of mine! Glad you check the blog. I hear he’s a great teacher.

I liked it because it was logically irrational. The whole book was an oxymoron, or should I say a Catch-22? Ha. My favorite book is Catch-22. I liked it because it was logically irrational.

And I second whoever mentioned the Sonya Sones books, although I love What My Mother Doesn't Know the best-so good! Yep, that’s the Mixed Up Files.

Any book that can make me cry like that has to be good. Plus, I love how it makes me think about the unfathomable love of God.

I am a student from Mr. MCclung's class in Noel,Missouri. I have just started reading your first book: In Between. The book seems really interesting because it expresses what a teenager would say and do. You are a great author. Obviously, you like to write like me. Sometimes I express my own feelings and thoughts by writing. I also like to read. I like your blog and your books. I hope you can come down here at Noel, Missouri School to talk to all of us about you and your books. Hi Jenny!! I am a student from Mr. MCclung’s class

I'm not sure what. I'm trying to read between the lines. But I write romance, so it's difficult to understand what people are getting at sometimes. By the way, I'm locked inside my own car. I hope somebody will come soon and let me out. I'll roll down the window a little and hand you the keys, then you can unlock the door. Please hurry! One book that springs to mind among many favorites is W. Dale Cramer's Summer of Light. I just love his voice. So many teeny little, genius motifs---to the trained eye. To the rest of us dopes, it's just real real entertaining. :) And Lisa Samson's Embrace Me sticks in my wee, soft little mind as a colorful twist of a love story (Lisa, did you know it was a romance? Ooops! I won't tell!) My all time favorite book...No, I can't pick just one. I'm an Austen fan. It takes quite a bit of brain power to read those, but I'm sure that's only because of the period language barrier. I bet the intellects of her day would have prefered dunking their heads in the w.c. over reading her novels. I'll never forget Stephen King's The Stand or White's Charlotte's Web as much needed escapes in my childhood reading days. I've also read a number of romances, but I can't seem to remember any of them. :-) Peace. Hi there Jenny –

Sarah B, The Mixed Up Files is an awesome book. There were few YA books around when I was a kid, but that's one of them!!! LOVE IT!! The kids lived in a museum, right? I loved that concept. They'd pull up their legs during the night check? Am I getting my books mixed up? Melodie, Stargirl is SO awesome. It has such a great message. I love Jerry Spinelli. And I need to read Inkheart. I've heard it's fabulous. Ruth, I've never even read a anything of Rivers but Redeeming Love, but I knew whose book that was. That's a power author! Where I've heard about the books even though I haven't read them. And Ruth, get that blog going!! Debbie, I have got to read 13 Reasons Why. It sounds a little sad though. But I've read such great reviews on it. Amy, I've owned Blue Like Jazz for at least five years...still have yet to read it. I'm so nonfiction resistant. Natalie, B and B are without a doubt the best romantic couple ever. Look how many movies and books throughout the ages duplicate them? Moonlighting, Castle, Sweet Home Alabama, and on and on and on. Sarah, that's cool you were in Much Ado! You could've just told people you wanted them to see your best side. Hannah, I had to read The Hobbit in the eighth grade by force...and ended up liking it a lot!! Tolkien is great. And definitely smart with all the plot business. Julia, welcome back!!! I need to get Suite Scarlett. It is also such a great concept. A girl living in a hotel with her family? Brilliant. Okay, a little bit "suite life of zach and cody"ish, but still. I like it. Camy, you and Danica and your tiaras!!! So funny! Bethany, I’ll have to check out book. I’ve never heard of that author.

My tiara is on my desk right now b/c some of the pink feathers were tickling my head, but it will go back on when I start writing again in a little bit. When I'm really inspired, I throw on my pink feather boa! :) Favorite book: PERSUASION by Jane Austen. That letter at the end is the MOST ROMANTIC THING I HAVE EVER READ! Okay, since poor Jane is dead, I'll list another: THE RESTITUTION by M.L. Tyndall. PIRATES! Need I say more? Camy You are so cute!
