We are a complicated and sometimes confusing breed. this is making me laugh like crazy. the sad part is, it's completely true.

So glad you survived your bear attack to live another day. Oh, and we LOVE Apples to Apples. I think you can really learn a lot about a person by playing with them, in fact. A few people I know even have sets of the cards, and when they don't know what to write next they draw a card to help them figure it out. LOL!

And "Sweetest Thing" and "500 Miles" have also been long-time favorites of mine. A few of the ones on your list are new to me; I'll have to give them a try, since it looks like we have similar tastes. Oh, I LOVE “Are You Out There”!

I personally am in a marching band, and its just so expected for section leaders to be controlling this way that I never even noticed that her behavior was strange. The people who have problems with her have obviously never been in a serious marching band. That's just the way people ARE. I had no issues with Ellie at all.

I loved Band Geek Love! And, when it came into my bookstore, I put it on an endcap with Maureen, Alyson, E. Lockhart, and Melissa Marr. (No one gave me strange looks, though. I work there. ;) ) Josie, just wanted to tell you… I loved Band Geek Love! And, when it came into my bookstore, I put it on an endcap with Maureen, Alyson, E. Lockhart, and Melissa Marr.

Thanks for the shout out! Teens Read Too is an awesome website and I was thrilled to review your book. I work as a teen associate at my local library and one of my teens came in yesterday and I told her about Band Geek Love and how she needs to read it. She's a band geek and a trumpet player so she's super thrilled that someone actually wrote a book about her! I have several band members in my advisory board, so I'm sure they'll be passing this one around a lot!:) Hi Josie! Thanks for the shout out!
