A Collection of Brand New Sentences!

...So if eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich means one less horrifically slaughtered dumb and long-lashed cow, why not? Is meat really so delicious? Well. Sometimes it is. Sometimes, I am obligated to make an exception.

Arlaina Tibensky said...: Me and you both sister! This is an excerpt from the novel... the main character wants to not eat meat for ethical reasons but can't quite make the commitment... I blame her midwestern upbringing...; May 12, 2010 at 10:39 AM
Pantalones said...: I hate that I identify with this sentence... and yes I blame Montana!

"Whether or not they are Plath lovers, readers will delight in Keek’s self-discovery." - Kirkus Reviews

"The result is a short, intoxicating, bouncy, lustful, stream-of-consciousness narrative in which Tibensky proves herself as an author to watch. Keek’s poetry—not bad, either—punctuates the diary entries and offers more catnip to Plathians."- Booklist

"Don’t you just want to know this character? And give her a hug and go out for coffee and talk about the things in your life that feel so terrible you can’t help but laugh at them? I did. Very much."- Slatebreakers

"Narrator Keek is one of my favorite YA narrators of all time, and this creative, quirky, honest novel was a good reminder of why I became a writer and why I love writing for teens." ---Cory Haydu, amazing author of OCD Love Story

AND THEN THINGS FALL APART is an ALA/ YALSA Readers' Choice Nomination for Realistic Fiction and a Junior Library Guild selection. Exciting!
