...in our email a few days ago. Aury Wallington, who was a TV writer for Sex and the City and Veronica Mars, dropped us a line about POP!, her sex-on-the-brain YA novel that's just out from Razorbill/Penguin. Love the cover...doesn't it go perfectly--even a little too perfectly--with our very own bookburger logo?
Want to try a sip before you buy? Aury's posted the first chapter here....let us know what you think!
they sat down for our pop quiz interview, bared their souls, and designed their own burgers for our honorary menu:
The E Lockhart Burger: a well-spiced veggie burger, topped with blue cheese, lettuce, dijon mustard and extra pickles. ("I am a vegetarian, Bookburger. Like Roo in The Boyfriend List.")
read the interview
The Ally Carter Burger: mayo and mustard. And lettuce, pickles, and swiss cheese. ("Okay now I’m hungry. This is all your fault!")
read the interview
The Kieran Scott Burger: American cheese, bacon, lots of ketchup, red onions and
lettuce. ("Let no pickle touch my burger lest you wish to feel the full scope of
my wrath!")
read the interview
The Rachel Cohn Burger: turkey burger ("preferably from Barney's in San Francisco") with red onion, tomato and mayo. ("Don't forget the fries.")
read the interview
The Mo Willems Burger: Fresh and well-grounded ("like my daughter") with nothing on it.("I am deathly afraid of most condiments.")
read the interview
The Melissa Kantor Burger: Melted blue cheese with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on the side. ("with a complimentary pack of 'Trident Blue' so you could eat all the onions").
read the interview
The Lisi Harrison Burger: A burger topped with Mac & Cheese and ketchup. ("Call it the Mac & Cheeseburger.")
read the interview
The Laura Dave Burger: Cheddar cheese and barbeque sauce. Extra pickles. ("and please...hold the onions!")
read the interview
The Stephenie Meyer Burger: another completely plain burger. ("I'm anti-condiments.")
read the interview
The Janet Fitch Burger: a burger with a hole in the middle, stuffed with something dark, like olives. ("There's always a certain darkness at the center of my books.")
read the interview
The Tanya Lee Stone Burger: medium rare with cheddar cheese, barbecue sauce, and an onion ring. "Overdone thick-cut fries on the side, please."
read the interview
The Maureen Johnson Burger: veggie burger with roasted red pepper, avocado,
and Monterrey Jack. Pickles on the side. "And all the condiments in the
house.
read the interview
The Alice Hoffman Burger: "It should have everything, but hold the burger. (Unless it's soy)."
read the interview
Ok, that chapter got me hooked!
