Note: I chose those three cities because, as of today, I haven’t personally heard from any readers there. So Lima, Jefferson, and Fairbanks...I’m putting you on notice!
Next, I learned that Thirteen Reasons Why was placed onto three very cool lists by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA):
- Best Books for Young Adults
- Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers
- Selected Audiobooks for Young Adults
It's impossible to fully describe how thrilled I am to have my book added to those lists. But the most exciting part for me is knowing that librarians think I wrote something a reluctant reader will find interesting.
Okay. Bring on next week. I’m ready!

Whoa, the good news is pouring in. Congratulations!
Maybe next week will be even better!
Congratulations on all of it, Jay. You deserve all that good news and more.
Congratulations, Jay on your much deserved success!
(Whistles, screams, & Hoo-rahs from Slapout, Alabama! Which by the way does NOT have 40,000 people.)
I am sure the second printing will be even more amazing! Stay inspired and keep 'em coming!

Jay, congrats on all the list-making! I'm so happy for you! And a 2nd printing already! YAY!!! Maybe my library will get another copy.
Ooh! I can think of 40,000 Reasons Why Jay Needs to Celebrate.
Yay! Go Jay!
Richly deserved.
Congratulations!! Here's to more!

A second printing - three of an author's favorite words!!!
Congrats Jay!
Yippee!
Congratulations.
Ahh... Your comments are sustaining the non-suckiness of this week.
Thank you!

Why are we not surprised? Congratulations, Jay!
Woo hoo! x 40,000, of course!
CONGRATS JAY! I loved your book, and the awards and second printing are well-deserved.
Yay! Great news, Jay! Congrats on the second printing and all the lists!
Yo-hey, Jay. I'm from Alaska. Not from Fairbanks, but I would say a rural location where we have about 50 kids in a K-12 school that overlooks a glacier trumps boring old frigid Fairbanks, wouldn't you?
You're on the map in AK, dude.
My book's in a school which overlooks a glacier!?!?
That is so cool!

(My book can now cross #7 off its bucket list.)
So it's next week now! Was your prediction right?
;-D
Thanks for checking back, Mac!
And in my short career as a published author, truthfully, this week has totally sucked.
So, as of this week, my post titles will no longer be in the speculation business.
But thanks for asking! :-)

Congratulations!
But now, citizens in neighboring towns will have a chance to read my book, as well.
LOL! You're such a dork, Jay -- but so funny too! Congrats!
