ATTENTION STUDENTS (er, FYAers): please report to the caf on august 11 for the next meeting of the FYA book club and cocktails.
that’s right — the book club is moving! it’s been so successful that it’s outgrown it’s little place here and needs the full cafetorium (complete with stage) to fit everyone in. we’ll still have the different discussions going on at the tables, so grab yr tray, get a little umbrella for yr drink, and take a seat.
and the book is …
boy meets boy by david levithan. did you fall in love with tiny cooper? you REALLY need to meet infinite darlene, the homecoming queen and star quarterback, as well as all the other kids at paul’s high school where the gay-straight alliance holds dance lessons for the straight kids. paul meets noah, paul gets noah, paul loses noah. will he be able to win noah back (with the help of a cast of crazy kids i wish went to my high school)?
seriously, you guys will love this book and it’s take on GLBTQSWhatever-we’re-all-just-normal-teens.

HOORAY I’M SO EXCITED!!! David Levithan, get in my pants!
i totally fell in love with him at the will grayson, will grayson stop at bookpeople. and that’s impressive, considering john green was standing right next to him.
I read this book several years ago and now I’m super excited to read it again for the book club. And I have Will Grayson, Will Grayson waiting for me in my bedroom. (Oooh, sounds naughty!) Yay!
Yay!! When’s the first meeting?
august 11! see you in the caf — i’ll save you a seat.
Excellent! Can’t wait!
I found out today that Boy Meets Boy has been missing for over a month at my library. To get my David Levithan fix, I checked out How They Met and Other Short Stories. I’m completely hooked on it right now. David put my dream of talking to the cute boy at Starbucks on paper. I feel akward and shy just reading it.
I’ll have the book by Aug 11 though. Pinky promise.
yay, got the book!
Ooooh, I’m excited to finally read a David Levithan novel. I read a short story of his recently about a guy on a Quiz Bowl team and I LOVED it, so I’m guessing I’ll like this one a lot.
Book Club? Cafeteria?
I AM SO THERE.
Um… Where is there? *new kid in school* HAH! Saw the sign before anyone could make fun of me. OH YEAH!
