I haven't been posting that much the past few days as I am working on something special for my other blog, The Sarah Dessen Diarist. A big event will start on May 6 and run for an entire month. Yes, that's correct, there will be something each day of May in honour of someone all of us love. AND it will be freaking awesome!

During May, Persnickety Snark will be a largely Aussie space. I have decided to focus on Australian works for this month so be on the look out for Australian YA reviews, Aussie debut author interviews, Australian publisher interviews and other bits and pieces. Everything Down Under will be right here on PSnark.

Holy cow! You put all of us to shame with your review-writing efficiency. And that's on top of teaching! I'm impressed. Keep up the great work, Adele!

I didn't even READ that many books!

Adele, you make me feel like a lazy bum, even though I blogged every day last month.
