- John Green and his brother, Hank, after their pwning of Oprah on youtube, were punished to do brotherhood 2.0 style vlogging for a month. [Don't know what this was? In 2007, they decided to stop textual communication for a year and make a video every day to each other (one one day, the other the next, etc.) except weekends] Visit their youtube page to watch.
- Lauren Myracle is having a contest to come up with a contest... Sounds confusing, it isn't. She wants a contest idea that's spooky, promotes her new book (Bliss), and deals with All Hallow's Eve. Start brainstorming and you may win a really cool Bliss shirt! More info here.
- Justine Larbalestier's publisher is having a contest for her new book, How to Ditch Your Fairy, basically to write about what type of personal fairy would you want to have. All the information is here.

Nick & Norah debuted with $12 million, not $4.5.
Thanks! We corrected it. We had misread the information since $4.5 was from the opening day. Thanks again for catching that and for reading the blog!
there were some awkward moments in nick and nora that were hard to get past... such as every time that gum was re-used (yuck!)
