Get Into It -- Jay

Today’s the official release date of Thirteen Reasons Why. Woo-hoo! We made it! And because the occasion has my insides all jittery and giddy…jigittery?…I need to do a simple post or my head’s gonna explode with all the stuff I’d like to say.

So let me officially introduce you to the official Thirteen Reasons Why website:

www.thirteenreasonswhy.com

Other than writing the book it's based upon, I had nothing to do with this. And that, to me, makes it especially exciting. That means the people at Penguin (Hello, Ms. Courtney Wood…you genius, you!) took my words and ran with them.

Here are some of the cool things you’ll find:

• Click the cover to read an excerpt from the beginning of the book.
• Copy down the hand-scribbled digits to Hannah Baker’s cell phone. (I dare ya to call it!)
• Check out the Chamber of Commerce map which plays a big part in the book. Click around to read bits of dialogue from Hannah’s audiotapes. You’ll also find five cassettes which you can drag-and-drop into the tape player to actually hear snippets of dialogue.
• Listen to a podcast of me filling out a book report form for…what else!…Thirteen Reasons Why.
• Listen to a podcast of me being questioned by Robin and Eve.
• Plus a few other cool things to read.

Okay, what are you still doing here? Go. Go!

As for me, I’m gonna go slightly mad for the rest of the day.
