Ack, sorry for my absence--in case you couldn't tell, sometimes I get really sucky about updating things. Anyway. A quick little post about all the things! (There are a ton of updates that I WANT to talk about, btw, but I can't just yet, so I'll just have to stuff my mouth with cotton and wait. )
I just got back last week from the Bologna Book Fair in Italy. Lots of fun. Lots of DELICIOUS FOOD. Lots of awesome foreign publishers. If you live in Europe and have read/liked Legend, I may be coming to a European country near you this fall! More news to come....
Oddly enough, one of the food highlights from Bologna was a homemade Greek yogurt I bought at a tiny food shop in a little local market. OMG. BEST GREEK YOGURT I'VE EVER HAD.
If you saw The Hunger Games this past weekend, maybe a few of you also caught a glimpse of a Legend trailer that showed before the previews! Also, Hunger Games movie. Two thumbs up. Jennifer Lawrence, you are too awesome.
I also have finally finished up Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and am about a third of the way through Revelations. Gotta say, I still prefer Brotherhood. Revelations is great and all (and Older Ezio is pretty cool with that hookblade), but I am really NOT feeling the Tower Defense side missions. That aside, still enjoying myself. I am dying for ACIII. Dying, I tell you.
Book recommendations! I haven't done these in a while. Last night I just finished up a novella by Sarah J. Maas called The Assassin and the Desert. IT IS SO GOOD. Read it (and read the first novella too, which is called The Assassin and the Pirate Lord). They're on Kindle. Another amazing book is Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline. Seriously, you cannot call yourself a legitimate nerd until you read this book.
And that's about it for now. Hope you're all doing great! Lemme know in the comments.

AvatarTLA, Walking Dead, Shadow and Bone panel
Los Angeles/SoCal folks, I have an exciting event to encourage you guys to go to. :heart:
Next Wed (June 26th) at 7pm, I will be paneling at the Grove's Barnes & Noble with Leigh Bardugo (Shadow & Bone, Siege & Storm), Mike DiMartino (Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra), and Seth Hoffman (The Walking Dead).
I'm on the floor, spazzing out like foamy-mouth guy, but don't worry, I will be okay. Possibly.
So if you're a fan of any (or all!) of us, please come out and see us! We're even running this fabulous fanart contest, where if you create a crossover fanart of all 4 of our properties, we will all sign a print of yo
In which we talk STAR CURSED
So. Let's talk witches. Fantasy. Hot boys who are actually (gasp) also good boys. Beautiful dresses. Oracles. Sisters. Magic. Plot twists. Heartbreak.
All words to describe STAR CURSED, the second book in Jessica Spotswood's CAHILL WITCH CHRONICLES trilogy. (The first book, by the way, is BORN WICKED. It's captivating. You should read it. It has all of the above too.) I had the extreme fortune of reading STAR CURSED early, and let me tell you, it's possibly even better than the first. Not only are we treated to a thickening plot and a world that turns steadily darker--but we're treated to some serious character development. Cate, Maura, and
My new book series, aka I'm writing high fantasy!
So. I have some news.
"New York Times bestselling author of the LEGEND series Marie Lu's new fantasy trilogy THE YOUNG ELITES, in a Renaissance-like world where young children who survive the blood fever are often gifted with god-like powers, three rival societies battle for supremacy, in a major deal, for publication in fall 2014, to Jen Besser at Putnam Children's, by Kristin Nelson at Nelson Literary Agency (World)." (via Publisher's Marketplace)
There it is! The Young Elites. I drew some pics and pinned some Pinteresting things:

Prodigy is #2 on New York Times bestsellers list
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone for all your amazing support for both Legend and Prodigy. I heard the news yesterday and became an absolute mess of emotions:
Prodigy debuts at #2 on the New York Times bestsellers list, and Legend comes in at #10 on the same list!
I can't believe it. I really can't. I don't think my high school writing-at-midnight self could ever have imagined this sort of thing coming true. It couldn't have happened without a team of brilliant people and the support of dedicated readers. Thank you all so much. :heart:
