So the other day (last week?) I read When Dimple Met Rishi (a sweet and super fun romance #YA book), and decided to try the movies mentioned in it.
I just watched Krrish and it's definitely my kind of fun, silly movie. :D

Free² #Free #DRMFree #YA #HistoricalFiction for 11/19/17 https://tinyurl.com/y98lvv4v
I can't check it but apparently The Girl From Everywhere is only $1,99 on Kindle today: https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Everywhere-Heidi-Heilig-ebook/dp/B00Y87XNBY/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1509546274&sr=8-1
I HIGHLY recommend it (as well as its sequel! And 3rd book comes out next year!!!!) if you enjoy #YA. :)
A conversation elsewhere about _Harriet the Spy_ author #LouiseFitzhugh revealed multi-genre author Marijane Meaker (M.E. Kerr, Vin Packer, Ann Aldrich) was not only a friend of Fitzhugh's, but also author of the first #lesbian #pulp novel.
M.E. Kerr's _Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack!_ I first saw in the elementary school library. I was too naive for the title to make sense to me, but I'm watching the 1978 Afterschool Special on YouTube. Meaker is 90 and living in East Hampton, NY.
