So to celebrate the release of Just One Day by Gayle Forman, Penguin Teen is putting together this awesome interactive event on Twitter called the Just One Day Read-a-Thon. Basically, from 5pm EST Friday, January 11 to 5pm EST Saturday, January 12, a bunch of people (hopefully) will be reading their copy of Just One Day in just one day! Not only that, but by using the hashtag #justoneday, you can see what other readers think of the book and certain scenes as well as post your own thoughts.
Afterward, from 7-8pm EST on Saturday, Gayle Forman will be on Twitter answering questions (maybe even giving some hints as to what goes on in the followup, Just One Year, out later this year). So don't miss out on that!
Here's an awesome banner Penguin made for the event:
Doesn't this sound awesome?! Luckily, I have off from work those days (and no, I didn't request off; they must have somehow known I'd need to be off!) and will totally be participating. I hope you all will too. Leave a comment letting me know if you're going to take part so we can keep in touch during the 24 hours to chat about the book!
So be sure to get a copy of Just One Day when it releases on January 8 and try to hold off until the weekend to read the book.
I also joked with the publicist asking if they'd do a Just One Year Read-a-Thon when that book came out, hehe. They decided not to dignify that with an answer in the response back.
But anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing you all there!

One Challenge Completed...
Here's my Seven Book Babes vlog, in which I complete (hopefully) one of the challenges posed to me last month by Chelsea and Harmony.
So it's one down, nine more to go. *sigh*

*sigh* I've been dared...

So just when I thought I had escaped all this "I DARE YOUUUUUU!!!!" business, I am sucked in. Both Harmony and Chelsea have dared me to do the following 9 things (#10 is forthcoming- am scared as to what it will end up being). Also included is my fun commentary in bold!
James, Chelsea and I dare you to accept this challenge and complete ALL TEN of the items on this list.
1.) Read all of the Twilight series (Not so difficult. Was planning on doing this anyway. Will probably review them as I go as well.)
2.)Write a blog post confessing your love of Edward Cullen (MUST be at least 10 sentences!!) (I'm sure I could do this too. Hell, I might even ACTUALLY love Edward after reading the books. Especially since I will be imagining him as Robert Pattinson. Though I do think Taylor Lautner is a bit hotter- I like guys who are tan.)
3.)Make a vlog of yourself singing/dancing to Lady Gaga. (This will prove a bit more difficult, as this will be HIGHLY embarrassing. What's actually funny though is that I DID record a tiny video a while back where I sang along to Lady Gaga. I sounded HORRIBLE in it. Will have to pick a better song or something. Requests?)
4.)Drink 5 cups of coffee in one morning. (I'm hoping for a reprieve or change on this one, as I don't drink coffee. And neither does my roommate so it's not like I could bum off her or anything. I don't want to buy 5 cups of coffee either.)
5.)Make a vlog about how awesome we (Chelsea and I) are. (This will be easy enough. Will probably make it as soon as I get home. I wish I had my cable with me or else I'd just do it in my car and post it as my SevenBookBabes post for this week. Unfortunately, I don't have the cable, so that also means no SBB post whatsoever. Sorry everyone. :( But more vlogs are coming!!)
6.)Dress up as Harry Potter (as in put a lightning bolt on your forehead), take a picture of yourself, then say hello to 5 random people on the street and blog about their reactions. (This is probably going to be the HARDEST one because I am extremely shy in public and therefore will probably die of nervousness and embarrassment from doing this. Maybe half points if I dress up and take picture? Although I could just wait for Halloween and then it won't be so bad. Yeah. I think I'll do that. AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE DARE NOW JUST BECAUSE I FOUND A LOOPHOLE! MWAHAHAHA!)
7.)Watch an episode of Supernatural and draw a picture of Sam and Dean. (This will also be easy, esp. since my roomie and I are getting cable soon. Is the show still on? Are there reruns on sometime? I'd rather start with the first season. Does someone have the DVD of it that they'd let me borrow? As for the picture, it will turn out suckily. I am no artist.)
8.)Write an essay using only Linkin Park lyrics. (How long does this essay have to be? I'll have to read their lyrics at some point... I only remember like one song from them and I'm not even entirely sure it was them. That song "In the End"? Is that even the title? I don't know. Linkin Park is not a band I listen to, as you know if you've seen my CD collection.)
9.) Read the whole Harry Potter series. We *will* be quizzing you on these so cheating will not be accepted. (Not liking the quizzing thing. But I was also planning on reading this at some point anyway. Guess it'll just be sooner rather than later.)
10.) We are still debating on this one and shall let you know when we come up with it. Be prepared to do something BA. (What does BA mean? Bear Attack? Bean Angel? BARN ANIMALS?? Please tell me I don't have to do anything with barn animals...)
This challenge must be completed by BEA 2010.
If you fail this challenge, you must do something embarrassing AND carry all of our books for us.
If you complete this challenge, we will carry all of your books at BEA.
