    Sara Zarr's Interests
GeneralI like to read. I sometimes enjoy writing. Cooking is extremely relaxing to me, as are naps. The DVR is the most oft-used appliance in our home. Christian theology is good fun. Music is an absolute must, every day. My favorite guilty pleasures are reality TV, and Coast to Coast on late night AM radio, especially when the topic is shadow people, remote viewing, alien abductions, crop circles, or psychic vampires.
MusicYes.
MoviesAt least three times a week.
TelevisionI can stop any time, really.
BooksThere are currently at least 37 of them on my nightstand.

About me:
I write young adult novels involving teens with complicated and angst-ridden lives. Yay, angst! My first novel, Story of a Girl, is in stores now - mostly in paperback though you can still find the hardback if you look. It was a finalist for the 2007 National Book Award! My second book, Sweethearts, came out February 1, 2008. They are both published by Little, Brown. If you want to find out more about the books, go here: books!. If you want to know all the excruciating detail about my daily life, be sure to visit me at sarazarr.com, or if you are a LiveJournal user, go here. And leave comments! I love comments! And by the way, if you send me a friend request and your profile has like no information and it's not obvious that you are a teen fan of YA or another writer, please include a message of introduction so I know why you're friending me. Thanks!!

Wait--this is a remix of that Level 42 song! Sara, I am right with you. I started listening to them when I was in school in the UK and got hooked. But what version is this? Still so good.
