I’ve spend an unreasonable amount of time over the last few years talking with my therapis

I’ve spend an unreasonable amount of time over the last few years talking with my therapist about how it seems like a bad policy to take praise and/or accolades for one’s book very seriously because if you pay attention to praise, you also sort of have to take criticism seriously too. Which is obviously not something I want to start doing any time soon.  NONETHELESS, I’m pretty fucking thrilled that SEPTEMBER GIRLS is a finalist for the SFWA's Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy and also that the book is an honoree for the James Tiptree, Jr. Award, which is given to science fiction and fantasy books that “Expand or explore our understanding of gender.” To celebrate, I'm extremely drunk right now giving away two signed hardcover editions of the book on Goodreads. You should enter the contest!  Or you could just pre-order the paperback, which comes out in April. (That’s the new paperbook cover up there.) -- source link
