   The Book Maven's Blurbs
About me:
The Yiddish word "maven" means both "expert" and "freak." I may not be a book expert, but I am a book freak... and I read at a freakish rate. Usually 4-5 books a week. I have a friend who reads 4-6, but she stays up way later than I do.

Please visit my blog on Publishers Weekly:
The Book Maven.
Who I'd like to meet:
Readers, authors, and publishing folks.

My book HOW TO RAISE YOUR PARENTS is for sale on Amazon as of this week! I am SUPER excited. You have to check it out and tell me what you think.

Oh, and don't forget to sign up for my newsletter at www. RaiseYourParents. com.
I'm going to do a bunch of cool give-aways each month--like MAC lipglass and other cool stuff.

Be sure to let me know what you think about the book!

Oh yeah, and this month's TEEN magazine has a full-page promotion and TEEN VOGUE has an interview with me!
Can't wait to hear what you think!
