Absentee

Sorry for the extended absenteeism guys. I’m kind of on a break from life right now as my friend’s visiting for a week and we’re doing all kinds of touristy things I don’t usually do (um, because I live here). But I swear, I have not forgotten about the blog.
Really.
Also: I have two books to [...]

Debut Review: Thirteen Reasons Why

It’s been so long (over two weeks!) since I wrote a review I’m not sure I even remember how. Please bear with me as I tackle this one.
Review in Short: When Hannah Baker decides to take her own life, thirteen people are to blame. Or at least, thirteen people put in motion thirteen events that led [...]

Moar Musics!

It’s time for another glorious music posting here on Ten Cent Notes. I’ve got an iTunes addiction, which I keep in check (mostly) and is much cheaper and more legal than many other addictions I could have (this is how I rationalize my addictions to myself), and because of this I know of some awesome [...]

The Jordyn Is Back!

It’s been so long. How does this work again? I type things and they appear on the internets? Oh. Right.
As an explanation for why I’ve been gone the past two weeks: I was in my hometown with my favorite people ever. It was great, and now I’m back.
While I was gone I read Thirteen Reasons [...]

Intermission

Dear Everyone,
There may not be much on the blog for the next week or so and it’s just because I HAVE NO INTERNET and am HANGING WITH THE COUSINS.
Don’t worry, I’ll be back.

Debut Interview: Charity Tahmaseb and Darcy Vance (part one!)

So I got a chance to interview the awesome geek girl duo who wrote The Geek Girl’s Guide to Cheerleading. In part one they discuss the book and in part two everything else. 
That said, here’s part one!
jordyn: What was the initial inspiration behind Geek Girl’s Guide?
darcy: Geek Girl’s is loosely based on an experience Charity had during her [...]

I Refuse to Lose

I refuse to lose the posting-every-day competition, so in the interest of that
TODAY I WAS VERY BUSY WATCHING HANNAH MONTANA AND DOING OTHER REALLY AWESOME THINGS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. 
A real post will be up tomorrow.
PS. I didn’t just watch Hannah Montana. I actually did stuff.

I DARE YOU, KORI

Because everyone else is doing it (and that is a perfectly acceptable reason?) and I felt so left out, I’m ISSUING A DARE.

Korianne, I dare you to accept this challenge. I dare you to complete at least five of the eight items on the list below (though I triple-dog-dare you to complete them all).

Watch the [...]

Author Interview: Lyn Miller-Lachmann (part two!)

And now for part two of my interview with Lyn Miller-Lachmann, author of Gringolandia. In this part we discuss YA literature, what it is and how it is and all that good stuff.
jordyn: This is – if I’m not mistaken – your first book to be published as a YA title. How is publishing or writing [...]
