You Know What's Wicked Awesome?

The book 13 Reasons Why is my number one book for the century. It's the authors first book, and guess what?!
He has a blogspot! discomermaids.blogspot.com OMG, right?
Well, yes, and no. It's shared with two other people (family? friends? who knows.) and he doesn't have anything about it on there except the front cover.
Well anyway, it's an awesome book.
Here's the summary
creds to Barnesandnoble.com for the summary below.
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker–his classmate and crush–who committed suicide two weeks earlier. On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list. Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.

Sounds really good right?
It is.
It is so good, that I want to go to SanFran right now and go to the workshop he went to so I can write a book just as good--if not better-- as his.

So that's my post for today.
